Are you not going to use an exhaust system? And most 6 cylinders only have a one core radiator whereas a V8 usually has at least a 2 core radiator. and then there is the fan shround to insure proper cooling.
I am not trying to argue, but nothing is as easy as it seems, but I truly do not think that the VG to VE swap is going to be as bad as everyone lets on. Especially considering it is 5spd to 5spd. Maybe I am wrong, I don't know, but I will definitely keep eveyone posted as this progresses.
