Default 427so overheating

I have a 427SO. Its in a Lone Star kit car. It heats up in traffic. It has a fluidyne radiator that tilts back at an angle. I have a 1800 pusher fan on the front and a shrouded 2300 puller fan on the back. The engine has two fours (600s), a tunnel wedge manifold, and port and polished aluminum heads. It idles in the driveway at about 200+ degrees...indefinitely. When I take it out in traffic the temp gradually rises. I bring it back home at about 220. I raise the hood and it drops back to 200+. I need to get the temp under control, I can't enjoy the car. Any suggestion on what to do?
