On the '57 Chevy, it was 98 degrees outside when I drove the Chevy 120 miles to the Super Chevy show. The temperature NEVER climbed above 160. Idled for an hour in car show traffic in another show and never cleared 165-170. I NEVER felt like the motor would let me down. People are standing in the isles to see/hear this motor. They are walking in front of me to take my (the cars) picture because they hear me coming. I DON'T PULL IN UNNOTICED. I drive this car weekly and the response is great. Looking forward to the next project.
By the way, its been 15 months since the Bel Air was done and I drive it weekly (in good weather). I have not reached for a quart of oil yet (aside from normal changes). This motor solved my "old Chevy woes". No more worrying about leaking on my dad's driveway.

Thanks for everything.
