If you are having cooling issues, with that very nice engine, look into a copper 3-core radiator over an Al rad.

Copper has a higher thermal conductivity value than AL. Only real benefit of AL is weight and cost, but cooling is not as good as copper

I bought mine from ebay the only problem I had was mounting the fan shroud. The one I got didn't directly bolt on.
