is my car running too hot?

Lets see engineering is a 355 around a 78 block running a decent lunati cam heads are just stock for the engine have the timing set at 30* advance. Just put in dual be cool fans and a duel core radiator all aluminum.
My question is is running at idle cause I haven't driven the car yet too hot? It seems to stay there with fans on.
