Is this a stock engine? 

Hey Doug, 
In my case no, the motor in my hot running 68/70 GT6+   is not stock.  
Unfortunately, I am in the same boat as Todd for the PO  did all the work on it so, 
how much modification was done is not  known.  I believe he said it will "GO 
FAST".  
 
Now I have all the shrouds, made out of aluminum.  I  wondered about that.  
Is that a good idea?  Heat transfer?  I  have the Oil Cooler but it sets right 
in front of the aluminum radiator no  doubt blocking some air flow.  I have a 
Jet Hot Coated Header which is  supposed to transfer heat better but ask my 
wife what it is like to ride in  the passenger seat behind that sucker on a hot 
day?  Oh, bad for her but  really pretty good for me for she strips to nearly 
naked to cope with it!  ( :
 
The worst thing is the breaking up after a period of hot  running.  I thought 
it was the Crane ignition module going nuts but now I  think it may be the 
early Strommies heating up, expanding and sticking the  pistons????
