Jeff: You are at 200+ degrees moving? Are you sure you engine bay fan is working? Did you check if thermostat on the fan is working? Are you running dual pusher fans up front? I have in FE in my Contemporary and was experiencing heat issues. I found a few things wrong. I replaced the blades on my pusher fans $30.00 from Cobra Restorer. I also replaced the expansion tank and found that the aluminum overflow tank mounted on the fender well had a frozen pressure cap so water was flowing to it from the expansion tank but had no where to go resulting in high pressure and extreme heat. I also replaced the caps on the expansion tank (12lbs) and overflow tank (7lbs).
