As far as engine cooling, I did all the HVX mods and put grooves in the rods ... like was mandated by VW for Type 4 engines. In stead of an external oil cooler ... I went with a Type 4 oil cooler in place of the stock oil cooler, with a modified doghouse cooling shroud.

I might know what HVX is but I'm not sure
The stroker 1776 has the Gene Berg dog-house mod and Type IV cooler, with an oil filter on the oil pump plate. So it has no external lines. I have thought about using the Type III cooling system (in some scenario with a flat-bed rat rod truck) for it's better heater, but then I'd lose all that tin.
I had the red coil Magnaspark in my weekly driver, but it's gone. I opened it up to see if it needed a cap and rotor and all the steel components were rusted (due to 'ozone' according to CB) and the blue pickup coil mounting tabs had broken off. So I got it rebuilt, which cost as much as the original install. Then it was flaky and the shop wanted to pull it and send it to CB Performance and let them figure it out. So now I'm back to an 009/Perlux Ignitor. A thousand dollar misadventure.
