Default Not worth it!

This is a pic of 429 in a 1989 notchback. Car has never run without overheating yet. A problem I've talked to others about, people think it's because the intake sits so much higher than the radiator causing air to settle there. So we've had to swap in a 2" drop k-member. The car already had vents cut through the nose and bumber an aluminum radiator and electric fans. You can hardly put spark plug wires on and it requires a hole to be cut through your trans tunnel if you want to get to the starter bolts, that's with a c6 not sure how bad it would be with a c4. Also headers are a treat because the steering shaft runs throught the middle of them so I would get a flaming river shaft to help out a little. Just go with a stroker and save the hassle.
