I would say if your heater core was that bad so is your radiator. Get a new one. Also make sure you have a fan shroud and a good fan. (Not a electric one.) And no wimpy little flex fan.

How old is your water pump? Damaged/worn impellers can add to the problem. Wrong rotation pump etc.

Engine timing,

Coolant mix, type of coolant.

Air in system, drill 2 holes in thermostat to help bleed air. Stat in right.

Hoses colapsing,

Loose nut behind the wheel,

Get a later model overflow tank like in about a 85-86 LTD. Has washer and coolant. Blowing out a little is normal. But blowing out on the ground is embarassing.
