I am using a 91-94 Explorer HD Rad from a 4.0 with an 2500cfm efan as a pusher along with some sweet reverse hood scoops and zip didn't get it above 175 degrees.

This does not mean that it's the way things will stay though... I plan to get a larger radiator in there for better cooling.

Where did you get the pusher fan? I'm using the same Explorer radiator and I picked up a pusher fan off a Mercedes in the junkyard for $15. How.close is your 351w to the radiator? I have 2" after moved the radiator into the core support.
