4x4 cooler will do fine for stg3. 500 cooler would be the choice if you loaded tho!

big turbo t38 hybrid, greys, chip and remap to start mate, but on standard block and head your out of the realms there depends what you had done already. lightening balancing porting big heads cams the list is endless mate

For 380 ish,you'll need a T34,greys and also be good to have Karls stg1 head,although not totally necessary. plus all the bits above. standard engine will be fine if in good condition,headgasket may suffer,so get Karl to wire ring it,job done
