There have been quite a few discussions about cooling issues.  The last 
one just within the past few days.  My 440 is a .030 over and will run 
warm in stop and go city driving after coming off the highway or 
thrashing it a little bit.  I recently had it rebuilt.  Previously it 
was basically a stock low compression motor with a modest cam.  It acted 
the same way then too.  The folks here on the list have tried many 
things like an extra electric fan or a fan shroud.  Don recently 
suggested running a smaller pulley on the fan which will run the water 
pump and fan at a higher rpm.  
On that note Schuyler found his poly pulley and it is actually 1/4" 
larger than the one I currently have, 6.5" vs. 6.25" so I'm still 
looking.
