Are you certain of the condition of this 4 core radiator?
Sounds like your making an effort on most aspects
It has always been my understanding that running a lower temp thrmostat doesn't help with a cooling system that simply isn't effectivly doing it's job ... I'd run a stat that is correct for the build and work on the other parts of the cooling system to find the problem.
I am running a Griffin radiator on my 11.1:1 compression 351C ... along with a bunch of other ideas to assist cooling ...
If you want to read through the info, it's all printed on my home page (I have about 20 pages of narratives about my 351C build) ...
If you choose to check out what I did ...
From this screen go to my home page, from first page scroll down to "The Beast" click the icon ... that page has links to two narratives one on "parts selection" and the other on "assembly and installation."
I put major thought and effort into my cooling system.
