What is the local shop's name and number? What is the name of the shop in Australia (ASI)? Did you ask what is the number of the place and if so, what is it? Thanks!

Anything's possible


He needs good intercooling and to be boosting around 1200 CFM of air through a very good intercooler to get 700 hp at this displacement.

That translates to 32 lbs of boost from his two Garretts, so he is going to be needing the engine built pretty strong.

It is very possible, for sure... Keep us posted.

PWR makes a very good aluminum radiator for the svx. Do a search, it should come u easilly. I guess shipping out an already expensive radiator would end up costing alot for you though still worth looking into

Svxfiles tells me he is using a Griffith radiator which only cost him $200.

Check it out here

It looks a magic piece of kit for the money.

Tom's rad has double the channels. It is thicker than standard. This necessitated the purchase of two "skinny" fans and the thermostat controller, so the cost of these items has to be added to the mix.

The SVX oem fans were too deep to fit with the new thicker rad.
