My question is, why does it overheat after a long downhill? I could see 
it overheating after a long uphill.

The first thing I would do is check the ignition timing

The second thing would be a compression check to look for a blown head 
gasket

The third thing you be to check idle fuel pressure just in case your 
pressure might be low causing the engine to run lean
