These are Vintage Wheel Work V45s, 17x8 and 17x9, 245/45-17 and 275/40-17 Falken R660. I don't think you can buy the wheels anymore, and I'm going to 18's later this spring.
Looks like a 307 casting (3932373) from a 1969 camaro with a TH350 transmission (the DD on the pad) originally if I'm reading it correctly...
but that doesn't mean it's not got the internals to make it a 327 now.
I use the Hotchkis sway bar, i like the reinforced mount through the frame. I also use Global West reverse cat eye springs with the bearing system and Del-alum shackles. Here's a video:

I’ve got one on my ’73, did the same thing as you with a reman… tried out the reman’d IROC box but it was still sloppy, so I sent it back and ordered the Detroit Speed box. HUGE improvement, I’ve had it in for a couple of years and it gets beat on routinely. No problems, just be sure you bleed...
Never had a problem with my Cold Case 2-row... and that's with running hot autocross laps in 95* humid weather... I think the CC radiators have 1.25" rows but they are made to fit exactly into the original radiator space.
Couple of things, 1) is it the factory dipstick, and are you sure it has the right volume of fluid in it? and 2) did you replace the converter or is it the original? How many miles were on the transmission?
It's something that's under load, look at the converter and planetary gear sets, and...
I have this same fan setup with the PWM controller on a Cold Case 2-row aluminum radiator. Between driving and autocrossing, I've never had a problem, stays at 180, and with the PWM controller, the fans ramp up as needed without spiking the electrical system. I had to do the same shroud...
I’ve got 17x8 w/4 3/4” bs in the front and 17x9 w/5” bs in the back. Tires are Falken Azenis RT660’s, 245/45-17 front and 275/40-17 in the back.. I did have to modify the seatbelt hump on the driver’s side a small amount (probably because of the spherical bushings in the springs in the rear)...
Here’s a link to the kit ($419) on GW’s website…. https://www.globalwest.net/camaro-firebird-nova-rear-shackle-bushing-bearing-leaf-spring-cat5-1967-68-69-70-71-72-73-74-75-76-7.html
I have the GW CAT 5 springs, they have del-a-alum upper and spherical lower bushings in the rear eye, and...
+1 on this… I use Global West reverse -2 springs with spherical bushings in the front and del-a-lum in the rear, along with Viking double adjustable shocks. It’s a great combo and allows the rear end to track better through the corners. I don’t know if GW is selling any springs right now due...
