A easy quick thing to check is this.

Once it gets hot enough to start to run ruff pull the 12 volts to the HEI and then crank the motor and listen for a steady speed of cranking thru all the cylinders.

If you hear the cranking rate speed up then you have a valve hanging open once that temp is reached.
