Not sure what you mean by over heating. What temp is it getting to? Are you just letting it idle or is this on the road with a load up a hill. Also not sure what truck you put a V8 into as you do not say. I have a V8 in a WC 53 and have had no over heating issues at all. I have a flexible fan on the front pully and that is all. I had the radiator cleaned. The WC 53 is similar to the ff PW with the exception that it has a smaller tank on the radiator. Even with the smaller cooling system I have had no problems.

Check your thermostat to make sure that it is working. Also check to see if the lower hose is restricted or colapsing. You did not say much about the engine. Is it rebuilt? If not it's cooling passages maybe be partially blocked. Check the timing also.
