I did it in my last shop car. Use a good set of fans and a 160* thermostat and you are all set. The car would average 170-180* cruising with the TH400.

Mine runs a little warm on hot days, 200-215. Warmer than I would like. I'm going to put a larger volume rad in the car, mine is pretty small, it should be fine.

I just drove it to Speed Inc's open house down the tollway and it ran 180's but it was only in the 50's.
