Yeah temp would be an issue, these will  be replacing these in a SB-220 amp.

Be careful of the temperature derating. The datasheet says they start to derate at 25°C and derate to zero at 
155°C. Caddock and others produce similar power resistors.  Kanthal/Globar produces suitable single units 
but, I've not heard of a source for small quantities.  However, a coupla 100Ω/2W carbon composition resistors 
can be used in parallel. Ebay seller 'bigsmythe74' has new old stock Allen-Bradley but, he wants $4/each. Sorting by price, I 
see he has 91Ω/2W available for $1.25 each (http://www.ebay.com/itm/400003772794). Add $3.50/order shipping to USA.

Joe,

I hope someone has in their parts box. (2) 5 Watt 47 ohm non inductive
resistors.
Actually I do have a few, apparently metal oxide, but shipping them to
you would cost more and take much longer than if you buy them...

Maybe you can use this one:

https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/ohmite/TNP10SC47R0FE/TNP10SC47R0FE-ND/6165413

It's 10W, but still small enough and not too expensive. You can either
bolt it to the chassis, or on a little aluminium sheet that acts as
heatsink, shaped and bent to fit the space you have. These resistors
have lower inductance than old-style "non-inductive" ones, due to their
smaller size. Of course you destroy that advantage if you have to use
long wires to connect them...

Or you can assemble them from several 2W film resistors of properly
chosen values, combined in parallel. Those are very common and
inexpensive. Or use a bunch of even smaller resistors.
