Joe,
If you decide to stay with the 496, see if you can find/buy just the long-block. You can swap over all the accessories... it's much cheaper!

I built a custom closed cooling and went big on the exchanger because I did not know how to come up with the btus. It works fine but I might have been able to save weight and $$ if I could have used a smaller exchanger.

There is a calculation for sizing the heat exchanger to dissapate the btus generated by the engine coolant. Do you know how to derive the btus your engine is making?
