I read your comment on aluminum radiators? May I make a suggestion since I am running a 383 sbc in my 78? The radiator out of a 67-70 Mustang with a 390-428 engine will fit right between the uprights of your front end! You do have to take the radiator to a shop and have the outlets changed from side to side and re-sized though. I am using the same radiator for 3 years here in So Ca and even with the a/c on during the hot summer months the engine temperature rarely exceeds 200 degrees.
I am not computor literate, (old as dirt,) and I cannot seem to get pictures on this site, but I can e-mail them, if you are interested please contact me at pinkertondusty@aol.com.
I have several pictures of my radiator and engine set up.

Good luck, I love those 327s, I think they are one of the best engines ever made. I also have several camshafts for sbc, including a new 350 horsepower, 327 engine if you are interested, send me a message?
