My '68 radiator is extremely small compared to say a '76. The previous owner of my car had installed this set-up and it worked fine on the 305. The electric fan is operated by a thermostat and only came on a few times that I can remember. The mechanical fan was donated by Durango Boy and is a stock 7 blade fan blade.
Question now is this. Will it be enough to cool my built 327?

You should be okay
Start with a 195 ° thermostat and be sure to fit a radiator shroud. You want every bit of surface area being used. W/O the shroud the corners get very little airflow
