Because your overheating concern occurs more during load conditions, it makes me feel like you could have an internal engine cooling system leak. Pressure testing the cooling system, checking the engine oil for signs of moisture, detecting hydrocarbons in the cooling system reservoir would be a good start to the guess of what is wrong.
