Cory,Greetings from Mississippi...Its your radiator and water capacity. That 318 radiator will not cool a 440. Trust me I know. If it is a custom built aluminum, 3 core, 1 1/4 inch cores, cross flow, that bolt into your stock radiator support..............you might have a chance. I doubt it.

Greetings from Canada. Just put a 440 into my 65 Polara which was originally a 318 poly. The 318 never over heated, but this 440 constantly runs very hot. To the point where it starts to ping. It's got a big block rad in it and the water pump is good. The only thing I can think of is that I don't have a shroud. Can a shroud make that big of a difference? I've never had this problem before. Suggestions would be appreciated?_________________________________________________________________ Game on: Challenge friends to great games on Messenger http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9734387 -- [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ----Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
