I have a heating issue as well.

I have placed new High RPM Fans New water Pump. Thermostat Radiator Pressure good no cracks in Block or Heads also New 4 core Aluminum Radiator. Also I replace and cleaned my whole water system out. Replaced with Evans Non Water Coolant. The coolant system goes from 180 to 250 in a couple miles and keep rising. Engine is a 390 FE HP around 425 . I would be grateful for any help

Thanks Horndog

Need to know how you checked pressure..
If ever overheated,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,you are looking at a possible head gasket. Compression pressure is much higher than cooling system pressure tester. The heads were known for warping if overheated.
