My 340 is running hot I think.. I need a sanity check.

I once had a 71 Demon that made a lot of gurgling noises in the heater-core. The hoses were on backwards, and I suppossed that a big bubble of air got trapped inside it. I flipped the hoses around,and all was quiet.This core had 2 same-size pipes on it.Only Mope I ever had that did that.
Good thought, I double checked and it appears that the heater has good flow and I've tested the heater valve to ensure that I had purged the core.
Heres apicture of the heater hose setup. Does it look correct?

Thanks!
