motor size/cooling question

[Project 77]

I'm looking at this car on ebay, pro street 77

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2487348037&category=6236

Looks like a stock rad. Wouldn't that thing get hotter then hell with a stock Rad? my 76 had a stock 351W and it ran at 200 degrees and this is a pro street car. what do you guys think?

The stock II rad will cool this motor. A lot of overheating problems are due to a cruddy cooling system and block. More than likely this rad is new so it's clean. With all the work in the motor the block was more than likely cleaned in a hot tank at a machine shop.

I saw this car on ebay before and thought it had sold. It's nice but I wonder what type of motor mount setup is on it.

If you get it, swap out that rear end. I think its funny how he got Moser axles but stayed 4 lug.

The line is very fine with these radiators. If it is clean and has a good shroud it should be ok. Although for what use also? If your running 1/4 mile at a time you should be fine, if your talking about street driving in July I think prolly not. My stock rad did not cool my Modified 351W for street driving in the summer. It was new/clean and a good shroud, Thus I have the Ron Davis Aluminum.

Nuttin wrong with 4 lug axles! Hard to believe, but I've seen 5.0 stangs making 10 sec passes on 4 lug slicks. As for the 8 inch, usually they are good to about 450hp or in the ballpark therof.

Yeah I've seen this car on here for sale at least a couple other times.. wonder what Gremlins are in this thing...
The motor seems to appear to be mounted using a block plate bolted to the front, probably sandwiched between the front cover (timing chain cover) and the block. You can kinda see it in the engine pics.
