if you do go closed cooling it would be smart to run only distilled water in your cooling system about the first 5 times out and drain and refill ..The distilled water will help pull the salt out that has leached into the cooling passages. If you just add a coolant you risk turning it into a gel...

Plenty systems around for Factory power , what this hunt is about is finding a FWC system big enough for more cubic inch/ horsepower and also cooling aftermarket exhaust. That system a few post back is awesome but isn’t a full system.
