Something tells me no but with a MKVIII/3.8L Taurus fan,distilled water and some Purple Ice or RedLine Water Wetter it very well could.
There\'s no replacement for displacement!

\'97 MKVIII Lincoln. But the JTR book says use the \'90-\'95 3.8L Taurus fan (supposed to be the same) because the shroud fits the vette rad.They\'re about 150 bucks new HERE. It fits the vette radiator just right and the fan motor is about 4-1/2\" thick. It moves 5000cfm at 33Amps! Biggest e-fan out there. I\'ll be using that fan on mine. MORE FAN STUFF

the way i see it is if it can cool a high performance car without a grille and very little air flow, why can\'t it cool a big block with a huge grille and lots of air flow? i\'d say yes, you might need some of those additives i used a stock 4.3 rad with my 400+hp 355 it ran a little warm and i used some stuff called 40 below, it worked awesome, it can drop your temerature up to 40 degrees, now thats impressive, i tired redlines watter wetter with strait water and it dropped the temp about 15 degrees, but it wasn\'t quite enough to get it where i wanted

A big block is only 2\" longer than a small block.
