Still gets hot!!!!

I hade almost the same problem for the last 2 years

What I did ...


Change the stat several times without success
Change water pump without success even with a 8 blade impelled
Change timing
Change all the hoses without success
Change rad from 22 to 26 inch help a bit but not as much as I was hoping
Change engine fan from a 7 blade power fan to 7 blade solid to the 16 inch electric that champion send with the rad I even fabricate a shroud looking like yours (did worst)
End up with the ferd contour fan in cool day its ok but in 25* and hotter ihave to switch the second speed that I active with a second 40amp relay with that its ok it doesn't stay where it is it cool down like 205 to 185 in 2 minutes

So if I were you I would go to the scrap yard and buy the contour fan
And don't forget the hood to rad support seal it can only help!!!


My change and idea if it can help you
