I thought newer engines usually ran upwards of 230? More heat better emissions and such. Maybe sticking a higher pressure cap on your radiator and adding coolant swirl tank could help with your cooling problems. That bus is sick but your bus with a turbo would be downright awesome. Porsche bits are sexy but its also expensive, hard to fix, and difficult to obtain replacment parts. I think the ecotec is a perfect choice with its great power potential (700hp), abundent amount of support from GM, and a normal person can work on it with normal tools. I foten wonder why so many people opt for exotic porsche engines when there are many more practical and powerful engine combinations (with proper persuasion).
