How much crank you putting into the 383? The radiator may be okay if it's got the 1 inch (or are they 1 and fractional, I forgot?) pass tubes in it. But in Arizona, it may take a 3 row radiator with large pass tubes, and a high flow water pump such as a FlowKooler or PRH.

I’m thinking I have mj talked into the 3.75” stroke (434” iirc). I like a good rod angle. And not clearancing the block. Keeping 255 drag radials somewhat planted to the ground will be difficult no matter what with a warmed over big block, the 496” rotating assembly seems excessive.

as for the radiator I’m not sure about the internals, I didn’t look at it too hard. I think we’ll give it a try and just keep a close eye on the temp gauge.
