Sounds like good old fashion heat soak from your description. You might 
try a heat shield between the carbs and the exhaust manifold.  Stainless 
is best because of its low heat conductivity.  An electric radiator fan 
wired to a temp. controlled relay that is always hot will help keep the 
temperatures down right after the engine is shut down on a hot day.

And you really do want to have the stock radiator shroud in place.

Still happily playing around with the new limited slip and pleased as 
punch with the lack of right rear wheel spin and better control punching 
out of tight corners.  Whoopie!!!!
