I have a 1995 Mustang GT 5.0HO convertible. In the last two months I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, wires, distributor, radiator, thermostat (2 both 180 and 160) and still after about 20 to 30 miles the car runs hot. It has never hit red but stays close. Once the car gets hot it starts missing and running very rough. I have had the compression tested, the water pump is fine, uses no fluids and has no leaks. Thermostat is correct. All vacuum hoses have been checked. Computer shows no codes. The shop where I took the car last week said it was not the timing. I know it is still set to the factory setting but otherwise is there any way to check it without pulling everything off the motor again

HELP!!! I am going crazy (and severely in debt).
