DV,
With a motor like Rob is putting in, and I've seen the monster (it's awesome), wouldn't it get hot whether it is a 160 or 180? Rob lives real close to me, and it's hot here this time of year. We had put a 160 in my little 302 because it just couldn't keep cool with the hard driving I was doing (open track and such). Now with my aluminum radiator and 160 thermostat, I'm staying real cool. Do you think I should change to a 180 with the 351W I'm about to put in? Keep in mind my car will see the high stress of the open track events.

Steve

No, it ain't "real", but it's real fast....
