How hot do Big Blocks normally run?

Big block Corvettes run notoriously hot and those guys have the answer that can be applied to a truck. But as I noted above, the correct process is too long to retype all the darn time. Thus the link.

So true--I had an original 66 vette--427 and it would get really hot--not much air flow in those. I heard the 396s were even worse. I ended up putting an electric fan off a newer model--helped a lot. My new to me 72' K10 which I am picking up in a couple of weeks should have zero issues with the stock 350.
