Radiator was something that I wanted to try, the true test is still to come and if there is an issue maintaining cool then I will look to add something up front, prefer not to cut up the front if I do not have to.

For the exhaust I am looking to SS Varex, they are used widely in Australia on the LS1 and LS2 Holden cars and sound kick ass. Plenty of video's on Youtube like the ones below. Cost is going to be high but I do not want to sound like a vette or camaro and again want something different.

Any pictures or video of other V8 conversion out there? I would love to se them
