Oside, I looked closer at your post. I'd say if rolling down the road with good airflow it stays cool, but without that airflow it warms up, it can be just one thing. Your fan isnt flowing enough air.

You can drop the cruise temp by using a 160 thermostat, but once you stop it will still climb. With my 427, I couldnt get an electric fan that would flow enough for the Mustang with a/c in the space available. I'd highly recommend you think about something closer to the 4000 cfm and even higher if you can do it. I ended up going with a big clutch fan in my Mustang, thats even with an Edel pump, 160 stat, and an AFCO alum rad. Now it stays cool as can be
