Im not really sure Im hoping I'll be able to without any cutting, mine is a non AC car and I live in South Dakota, but i want to be able to drive it where ever and not worry about it, for your case I would think 220 is warm but not overheating, I know there are some good threads on FABO about what is and isn't to hot for LA motor. In my case I wouldn't get to worried about 220 in stop and go traffic as long as it cools right away when moving and doesn't get any hotter. What temp thermostat are you running? And what are you running for a fan? BTW awesome looking setup you got there!

Thanks, 220 is hot, but drive able here, we use
thicker oil to help. If I get into it hard,it will jump
up to 230! Dangerous. I have a 3300cfm puller fan.
There are (3) schools of thought on t-stats.
1). Run a low setting 165 and get the flow going
quickly.
2) run a higher tep t-stat, like a 185 or 195. Hold the
Coolant in longer.
3) Run a restriction plate in stead of a t-stat, so constantly flow fluids.
The last is mainly for circle tract racing w/ electric
water pump. (Not for every day driver.) Elect pumps
are not designed to run all the time.
I am in cat 1 moving to 2 to see if it helps.
