i have been impressed with this old radiator. im guessing it has alot to do with the honecomb design. My 327 was a Vette 275 horse so with the better intake, headers, and cam I'm thinking it was around 300 at the flywheel. Even out on the mud run with the big boys in 100+ degree weather and screaming, my gauge never read over 220°. I had it in a parade last year and never got there again.
My biggest problem with the 327 has been the belt tension. I wasnt able to run a stock style power steering bracket due to frame height and the newer style mounts need the head bolts which I don't have. Considering that 300HP is WAAAAY overkill on stock axles and 9.00's, the 200HP 350 im putting in will be just peachy! Heck, I liked it fine in my CJ with the 37's.
