One thing that you need to watch for is too low rating of thermostat. If the rating is too low it will not let the water stay in the radiator long enough to keep the water cool.
I had a 77 vette with a 160 t-stat. Car always ran in the 200-220 range. Changed to a 180 t-stat and it ran aroun 190 all of the time.
