Overbore, Overheating, Shelby Heads

The 428 can be bored 0.040 if the present bore is damaged. Pistons are available fo it and I do not think it will have a heating problem, not anymore than usual. Boring morre than 0.040 and I would sonic check the block before boring. The 67 Gt-500's came with C7AE-A heads. small intake runners, this is not necessarily a bad thing as the mixture velocity is good in these heads. Sounds like rings could be rusted to cylinder walls. Running without a thermostat as mentioned in the above post does not allow coolant to remain in the radiator long enough to allow heat transfer. What consecutive number is the car, does it have inboard or outboard highbeams? Smooth vinyl or comfort weave seats? A/C?
