Ken,
I don't know about crawling through the desert, but I always thought
that IH's flowed to much water in stock condition, I remember having
foaming problems with a '65 1300 w/4.13's and a 241. I beleive that IH
used to sell an anti-foaming additive.  Some race cars use a electric
motor to drive the water pump, this would give you constant flow no
matter the engine speed, though you would also have to go with an
electric fan and route the alternator belt so that it didn't go around
the waterpump.
