Whats up i have a 81 gp with a 231 v6...the car compared to my vic is a slug what can i do to this gp to juice it just a bit...I wanted to add a supercharger but the parts are hard to find....I also plan on changing the head gasket...sometimes when i crank it it doesn't smoke but soon as i drive it and the temp gets over 220 the car starts to smoke...

Look up eastwooddads posts. He's running a N/A set up and doing really good.

well today i finally got everything back together and i started her up and she smoked for about 15 minutes then she stopped smoking...I plan on driving her soon but I will keep letting her run everyday into I do drive her..I also used gasket sealer on the head gaskets even thou it said dont...and I also gotta find a large bolt to put in the hole where the pipe that ran to the smog pump went...if she doesn't smoke and she runs good im going to try a turbo carb

Was there a check valve screwed in there? If so, it's pipe thread. Go to the hardware store an get a plug. I think it's either 1/2" or 3/4".

That sounds pretty bad. Those types of problems are warning flags that something is severely wrong with the engine.

Running that hot will eventually kill your transmission too.
