Rond3l, If your temps are in the 260 range with the body off, and over 300 with the body on, FIRST richen the mixture. After that, I'd make a decent size air hole in the front windshield, directly in front of the motor. Also, cut out the opening arounf the engine a little more. This will allow more air to circulate around your engine, helping keep the temps down.
As for changing the head. FIRST get the tune right.... (Good smoke, good power, steady temps) THEN you can change the head. If you change to a better cooling head without getting the engine running right first, you can falsly be fooled into believing that your engine is getting enough oil. Make sure you get the tune right before you change the head.
Good luck.
