Things to check: thermostat & cap, fan turning in the correct direction, standard pulley sizes (no undersized crank pulley/oversized waterpump pulley) and on a small block, water pump rotation in the correct direction.

If these are OK, nearly always overheating at a stop indicates an air bubble.

Most Cobra owners go into denial about this.

It is the cause in a large number of these cases....

Your radiator sounds big enough.

Just sayin,
