Allan:
My experience with my Tiger tells me that, if the cooling system is not in
tip-top condition, there is a likelihood that it will run somewhat warmer than
it should if the motor has been bored out that much. My car also has a
.030-over 289 in it as well. There is, of course, much more that can have an
effect on operating temperature, such as the presence of performance-enhancing
bits, but just remember that the cooling system was designed for a
standard-bore engine, and even then it was considered to be on the marginal
side.
When I go through the mechanicals of my car, I plan to stay as close to stock
specs as possible; but, then again, that's the way, uh-huh uh-huh, I like it!!
