In '75, the radiator had to be tilted to allow the new (Ford) engine to fit.
The fan is not parallel to the radiator and doesn't draw air as efficiently
as the '74s.
There are fairly large differences in the amount of heat various engines
create. I haven't seen any specific figures for the AMC 360 versus the Ford
351W, but that is another possible contributor to greater overheating
problems in 75.
