Thanks guys,
Not the news I had hoped for...
I do have a re-cored stock radiator, and will switch to aluminum heads with
aluminum intake, with a LAT scooped fiberglass hood.
In your opinion...would that set of parts offset the overbore heat?
Here in Atlanta it gets quite warm in the summer...

.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.
