Thanks John, that sounds like a good solution, what type of fan are you using, a pusher ? I think the 544 radiators are larger and I don't think there is space for a 15" fan on a 122 radiator, but I will remove the mechanical fan and do some tests with my 11" electric fan only.

The problem I think is that the hot air is trapped in the engine bay when the car is not moving and the fan is only ticking over at low speed and unable to blow the hot air under the car. I haven't had any boil overs after shutt-off but don't like to see the temp gauge needle going in the hot area.
