If that's the case, maybe you should consider some of these. I put a set on my '88 and even on the 100+ days my temp guage generally reads like the engine just barely got warmed up on a cool day. The needle gets only about 1-2 needle-widths into the big, wide "normal" range. I'm also running a 180-degree t-stat so that it tends to run cooler. Gives me more time to react to an overheat if I have one. If it ever pokes up even midway through the "normal" range then I'd be watching it like a hawk. I haven't yet had the opportunity to see how they affect the engine in the dead of winter, but if they don't allow the engine to warm up adequately all I have to do is just block them off under the hood. Easy-peasey. A four-row rad might not be a bad idea either.
