I agree with those that said you need to get air out of the engine compartment. To cure the problem with my Studebaker, made vent holes in the inner fenders to let the air out. Weeg had an even better idea for his. He is putting vents in either side fenderwell and mounting an oil cooler on one side and trans cooler on the other, then putting a sucker fan on those to pull air out of the engine compartment across the coolers. If the air is kept moving well enough it should be cool enough for the coolers. Another alternative is to leave the coolers out and just put sucker fans behind the vents that you can control. The vents would dump into the wheel wells where the hot air should be able to escape.
I also agree with the ceramic coating, the Jet Hot people promise you will see a major drop in temperature and the cost is not outrageous, they perform better, look great and last longer too.

PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
