LV is pretty flat too, so the 240 cruising at 60 on flat ground likely has little heat produced.
the reason you had no heat was the WP was not turning much if any at all.
actually, I think the wp would be turning backwards without the motor. the heat likely was moving thermally, not the wp pushing it.

I actually doubt a 617 turbo would be making all that much more heat in the same conditions, it would be getting within 2-3mpg of the 240.....so thats a minimal amount more fuel so not that much more heat. However, I bet its enough that it would eventually overheat. The 240 operates below that tipping point.
Ambient air temp would play a role also.
