I fixed such a problem. Please read.

I have a 428 CJ that just would not run cool even with a 4 row radiator, 18" flexfan, aluminum heads and a "Kool It" high flow water pump with an electric fan mounted outside pushing air. The engine was only bored .030 over. I made the mistake of filling the radiator all the way to the top which is a no no. It will spit it on the ground even on a brand new one. An inch or so below the top is close enough. Also, my sending unit was giving me false readings. I went to a radiator shop and had them put an infer red heat sensing gun (most new shops have them) on the engine while it was running in 100 degree wheather. It was 195 degrees like it was supposed to be. The only thing that I did that really helped that car cool was take the thermostat completely out. The car runs 195 in the summer and 130 in the winter. Hope this helps.
