    I wouldn't run the engine with the thermostat out as it can create more problems.

    How's the ignition timing? Too far out & it can cause overheating.
    Same with a very lean mixture but that's fairly rare with the V8s.

    Have you had the radiator flushed and cleaned?

    did you change the thermostat?

    one of the first things that should be checked and done.
