Have we checked the thermostat to see if it is opening properly?
Have we checked to see if the impeller in the water pump is correctly oriented (personal experience with a 428CJ FE powered early ERA)?
Timing and carb adjustment, as stated above, I'd start with timing first.
Has radiator ever been out and hot tanked?
Finally, is there a spring in the lower coolant hose to keep it from being sucked closed?
