Still running the stock radiator? What about fans? Tried running without the thermostat?

Ah i'm almost in the same boat as you I have a 305 in my 4runner and it gets pretty hot. I have a bigger radiator, but theres not enough cool air getting in.

Install an electric cooling fan with a manual switch so you could cut it on when it gets hot, that would help
