over heating bad motor

gjm · 03-04-2008, 07:09 PM

Wondering if anyone can tell me what would most likley be wrong? 1994 chev 350 V8. The radiator boiled over, so low on fluid. Being confined to a wheel chair, I had to keep going to get home. Unwise, I know, but had to,so I wouldnt be stranded. I think it over heated so bad,something warped. Now, it started, can move it, but doesn't have power. Wants to go, but can't. Any Ideas? THANKS

tell me a little more... how does it idle? does it have any strange noises to it? overheating a motor can lead to several different problems from damaging valves to cooking every electrical sensor on the intake manifold to warping or cracking a head from being so hot and then cooling to quickly...i hate to say it but once it started to over heat you should have shut it down and called for help.
