Cooling issue

Hi!
I have noticed that my engine is running hotter and hotter (212 F) use to be 194 F. This is a new 408 11,0 stroker all aluminium motor. It has 900 km on the milage at this point. It has the original radiator, that is rebuildt, in a lay down position with dual 12" puller fans 800 cfm each.
The water outlet is throuhg a PME thermostatic house with a 160 thermostat. The by pass between the house and water pump is conected. The system has been air bleeded.
Should I go for new bigger fans or should I go for a new radiator.
When I ran the 351C the radiator/cooling system worked fine, both when the car was turbo charged and than later with a natural aspirated motor with 10,5 in compression.
We have here around 71 F outdoor temperature
