There are plenty of these cars that don't overheat with fully stock 
cooling systems, including mine.   And it gets just as hot in Georgia 
as it does in Ohio.  You can certainly buy a $400 radiator, but what 
if that doesn't solve the problem?

Overheating is caused by insufficient heat exchange, often caused by 
poor circulation or crusty water passages.  Before you throw fixes at 
the system, why not establish the cause of your problem?

(If you are operating an uprated engine, then ignore what I said above)
