The overheating is usually on the earlier 6 IIRC the 216 and it's sister engines.I think you will find the 6 is a strong reliable engine that lasts way longer than a V8.Whether that is due to the fact people don't hot rod the 6 as much or if it's just designed in a way where it handles use better,i wouldn't know.I just know that people always look at me weird when they ask when I'm swapping to a V8 and I tell them the 6 is staying,I've already seen a bellybutton.(No offense,I think the GM 350 is the best engine design ever)
