I'm running 190-200 on highway and town.I been reading on other forums that guys have discovered the 440source housing to be very restrictive to the bottom hose.Any suggestions on an upgrade? The old engine ran fine with a mopar housing.
I called a 440source distributor in Edmonton,he said the housing has a definate prob with restriction but is easily cleaned up with a die grinder. He said my eddy high volume pump is good.

all I can add is I purchased one of their blems that needs that port to be hogged out, I just ain't got around to checking it out yet to see if it is doable or if I bought a pig but I feel lucky! (& it should be an easy enough fix if the bit can get in there far enough)

i've read guys fighting a heating prob ,change housing and prob solved.There were even posts that the factory MP housing flowed better? The mancini housing was mentioned a couple times as an upgrade.

Known issue... Their original casting had smaller water ports...In fact, rite now they are selling these parts @ a discount on their website.. "We have a limited supply of our 200-1079 Passenger side aluminum water pump housings which have been cast with a slightly smaller than normal lower water port. We've used these on many engines without any problems, however because the ports are slightly smaller than normal, we are selling these as a "blem" item. If desired, with a die grinder and carbide burrs, the passages could be opened up, similar to cylinder head porting. A steal at this price, we've marked them down to over 50% OFF the normal price. Get them while they last. Once they are sold out, they are gone forever. $48.95 each..." A friend ran 1 of these on his stroker 440, it ran hot... Swapped it out for the Mopar performance part, tempeature dropped 10 degrees in So Cal traffic.. Just my $0.02...

that's the one I got & it was ordered with other items so it was $49. I just check ed it & that port is definitely gonna need some porting & I got the scroll pump earlier & the vanes do look shallow on it EDIT part # had a B after the 9 (for blem)

OK, lets look at what has been said. Over heating because of a smaller lower hose port. With that being said , how much smaller could it be? The lower hose is 1 3/4 " Most street cars run a thermostat or a restrictor which would restrict flow more than a half plugged pump housing. I would look at something else causing your problem.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

A friend ran 1 of these on his stroker 440, it ran hot... Swapped it out for the Mopar performance part, tempeature dropped 10 degrees in So Cal traffic.. Did the guy ever check the pump vane clearance against both housings? Did he also change waterpumps?

I'll list my current cooling system: -22" rad (i know its small) champion 3 core -flex-alite 3300cfm -non restrictive 165 thermostat -eddy high volume pump -440source housing 512 stroker
my old 500hp 440 ran cool without a shroud,mp pump housing,same rad
without a shroud the stroker got warm in traffic and about 170 on the highway
-I wish dodge would've had holes to bolt in a 26"

I'm running 190-200 on highway Why do you think that is a problem?

-I wish dodge would've had holes to bolt in a 26" IMO there's nothing wrong with a 22" radiator. The problem I suspect is the fan. I'm thinking it is not moving enough air without a shroud. Put in a effective shroud and then maybe the electric fan might be enough. I doubt it. And put in a 180 or 195° thermostat, what are you doing with a 165?

And put in a 180 or 195° thermostat, what are you doing with a 165? i don't see how a diff thermostat would help,especially a hotter one.The elec fan would never stop .Currently i have the fan set to kick in around 190,on cooler days it will kick out quite often the car will run 180-185

Your problem isn't your cooling system. Running an engine with a 165 degree thermostat does nothing for it other than run the engine below efficient operating temps. If you were running a dedicated drag racer and turd polishing for the last tenth it might make sense. Anywhere else it's a bad choice. You'll note it does nothing for maximum temperature obtained.
