I don't think your overheating issue is due to the gears. I've posted numberous times that I run 4.88 gears without issue. It is actually more of a street car than a race car. I get 12 mpg on average wiht a 327 and 2 Holley 600's, but have run at 5k R's on the highway for almost an hour straight and no issue. </div></div>

I agree..something in the cooling system aint right..wrong pulleys..rotted impeller in the water pump..bad T stat..I would start there.
