Be very careful about increasing the cooling system pressure. I know from
experience that the 4 cylinder water pump will not take 12 lbs and one would
want to check the maximum pressure of the 6 cylinder one before taking that
step.

I have heard that putting a chevy neck on the rad also to bring up the
pressure helps also. That being said I had my radiator recored with a
better core but did not change the neck, still low pressure. Have not
assembled the car yet so i cannot tell you if it works.
