I have seen ambient temps as high as 102 and no overheating even on a long pull.
The Model T is only 20 HP, and HP=Heat. The T doesn't have to get rid of as much heat as the A has to. The natural circulation of the thermosyphon is not impeded by or overidden by the water pump as in the A, which as Bob B mentioned, forces the water to take the path of least resistance from the inlet to the outlet, bypassing the rear of the block.
