6 core aluminum radiator with huge tanks. If this could be a option.
A 4 row that size with a 160* thermostat should keep that motor cool and happy. If it’s running hot with a four row there’s restriction somewhere.

Not enough airflo or water flow or both.

This is with just a radiator and fan shroud. You should not need all kinds of extras.
I ran a 4 row in my Chevelle with a flex fan and Reduced speed pulleys with a 160* stat and 350 ponies .060 over 350. and it never went over 180*. You could put a price of notebook paper on the grill and it would hold it there the at an idle.
