A warmed over 5.9 will be just fine for starters, but you will need to invest in cooling and oil control for it to last.

this. all of this. aaaalllllll of it.

hello $700 road race oil pan, $800 accusump, $300 oil cooler and like $400 in hose and fittings.

then we move on to a $1000 radiator, plus... well most of the same as above.
