From "Oldvet"
One thing I read is on some year engines they had smaller water passageways in the heads so they would run hotter. One guy posted that he called GM and they said 230 was normal for that engine.
Mine still will get up to 230 on a hot day and a slight grade but the clutch fan kicks in and brings it down to 215
Parallel VS series cooling in the heads is what your talking about.....Parallel will produce a better (even) heat dissipation BUT both will work OK.....
As I've said before there ain't no reason for that engine to go over 15º whatever thermostat is placed in your engine....
I personally run a 180º T-stat from "Stewart" water pumps along with his stage one pump (cast iron) and with that combo the heating problems ceased.

Don`t know what to tell ya, ya hear so many different things, you`d think a GM machanic would have the answer.
