I run a 305 chev in my swb mav with same set up as you. It runs around 88-90 degrees cel, unless stuck in the unforgiving gatway traffic !

they should run around 90, but 95 isnt too bad.

Mine runs at about 85 - 90, I think its going to be hard to keep from over heating in the sumer though, I need to get twin termo fans, but we will soon see.

Had 305 chev overheating problem.
Got rid of belt fan to create a little extra room.
Had thicker radiator made and fitted twin thermo fans.
Seems to have fixed the problem.

If you have to run elec fans. Have heard that the ones of the AUII falcons are pretty sweet. Have heard of them going into alsorts of cars with different engines.
