It'll probably work.
I've used an old CPU fan for my SSR and while it did it's job there are probably better solutions for it.
So, again, it'll probably work but it might not be as effective as other products

How hot does one of your custom heatsinks get while in use?

Hi! That's not a question anyone can answer I'm afraid as it depends entirely on what you have hooked up to it, how hard you drive it (how many watts over time you're dissipating), what the ambient temperature is, and so forth.
There are heat sink calculation tools available that would calculate this for you where you can plug in all the various numbers that you'd be able to supply.
What are you using this heat sink for exactly?

I'm pretty much following your controller build to a T. Gonna use 5500w elements. I've oversized the SSRs and Contacters to accommodate a 50a upgrade later down the line. Just was wondering if I could use one of the heatsinks I already have.... Large heatsink like the ones you recommend are hard to source in Canada so your dealing with over the border shipping which I was hoping to avoid
