440 dart radiator...

Hit the front of it with a garden hose; the water should pass freely through it.
Drain the coolant into a large pan and set it aside. Remove the bottom hose. Put the garden hose in the top, and turn it on. The water should flow freely out the bottom, and not gush over the top..Put it all back together.
Start it up that bad boy,and dribble the water over the front of the rad.The fan should pull it through and make a horrible mess; good thing it's just water.lol
3 easy tests, zero cost
If it passes these, it's time for a Milodon hi-flo BB pump;pn 16260, I think,and matching hi-flo stat; pn16405 (160*). Cuz it looks like you have everything else covered.
If this doesn't cure it, Me personally, I would go straight to the big 26" rad, open up the core support, and call it done . That would be enough fooling around for me.
My rad is a 26 inch 1973 Dart A/C . Opening the core support was no biggie. I was having heat issues even with the 26 inch rad, until the 7-blade went on, and the hi-flo pump went in. That was the end of it. I'm at about 420 hp, with aluminum heads.
