That truck is an '84 which only came with small blocks.
Was the radiator upgraded when the engine was installed?
Even a stock 440 will need more cooling capacity than what was factory
installed in '84. A replacement radiator for a '78 440 truck should
cure your problem, get a max cool while you're at it.
Hmmm..... Yes, I am the culprit that ditched the 360 and transplanted the 440 - but I don't think I thought about the radiator size to cubic inch ratio; I did the swap in 2000 and then put the truck in storage while I went overseas so I don't remember much about it. I will have to go out and measure the darn thing! I'll update ya'll shortly.
