Darylle:
Thanks for the replies
The hood "seal" mentioned is the rubber tube at the rear of the bonnet I am presuming and yes it's all there including the front air dam thing.
The engine temps are not excessive (guage does not go past 1/2) The engine does have a cam ?? and given I am a new owner I do not know what other work has been completed.I am thinking of making some heat shields from that alloy stuff that looks like fish scales.
Thanks again for the replies. 

metalhead:
Should be seals all around the between the radiator and support, and on top of the radiator support to seal against the bonnet.

Vettech:
Just to add a little more 5 cents worth, I used to work on stationary deisel sets, and one of the best tools I had was a Laser Digital Thermometre. They are quiet cheap now at Jaycars, Supercheap etc recently my 87 was running like a dog, a quick temp check on the manifold close to the head showed 2 & 8 running cold compared to the others, pulled injectors (all) and found 2&8 stuck and pouring like a tap. Just some food for thought. I'd imagine by now you have your holidays booked for corvette work only.

StephenSLR:
Would having the headers ceramic coated help keep the temps down?

VB commodore v8 cable is ideal for RHD  C3 vet. perhaps look at where cable comes thru firewall. Ideal spot is to keep it as far to right on firewall as possible under guard.
