Get a big block radiator, or just find an appropriate one made more recently to get more cooling in less space. Another mod that would help out is to get rid of the egine driven fan and convert to electric. I know what you mean about cooling issues. I have a big block radiator and I still had overheating issues in the summer, while in traffic, those old rediators just aren't as good at radiating as more modern ones. I think you could get away with an almost full grill block and electric fans. Just duct under the front bumper and you ought to get enough air flow to keep it cool on the road and the electric fans will move air much better in traffic than that old mechanical one ever could.
Have you considered taller rear gears? I think you could go up to 2.43 and then be cruising at 1000rpm down the highway. That can be done for less than $100.
