" it are the "319" heads so I don't know If there are any issues with  
" the heads not matching up with the newer block or what. If that was  
" the case it should have done it from the start not after I drove it  
" for the summer. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

my guess is you're not getting full cooling from your radiator; it's
starting to plug up.  why it started suddenly is more of a puzzle -
perhaps something dislodged from inside the heads and stuck in the
radiator?

another thought - maybe the impeller on your water pump has come loose
from the shaft and is not pumping effectively.
