I have a 1966 912 V8 SBC with a 915 trans and centerforce dual. I also have
a ron davis 4 core aluminum rad with twin fan up front. I'm pushing probably
400hp. The clutch is the weak link and slips. The car overheats in hot weather
so I think you'll have problems.
Back in the 70's they put a big olds v8 and installed the radiator where you
have it. I believe the cooling efficiency will be better as the cooled water
has less distance to return to the engine. In order for a radiator to work the
water needs to move from top to bottom to experience max heat transfer.
The other issue is you need a lot of air flow. I hope it works for you.
