Around $40,000- That comes complete with bonnet, loom (for all injection, computer, full exhaust system, 5 speed dog box, straight cut drop gears, LSD, plus more

On the cooling an alloy radiator with a thermo fan should keep it cool.

It will fit (with supplied bonnet) in a roundy- but it will be tight the radiator shroud has to go, but that should be about it- i'll let you know once we have one fully installed.

This is from the KAD website:
170-180bhp, capacity 1380-1460cc.
KAD latest spec big valve 16 valve cylinder head with belt assembly,
A+ block with four bolt centre main cap, bored and honed
73.5mm flat top Cosworth or Omega forged pistons
Vandervell Competition engine bearings
EN40B billet steel crankshaft 81.28-86mm stroke
Forged steel Arrow conrods
HP oil pump, water pump
Aldon distributor with Ignitor Electronic ignition
KAD alloy flywheel and backplate
AP grey diaphragm pressure plate and clutch
4-2-1 exhaust manifold and 2" bore twin box system
Top and bottom radiator hoses, top radiator mounting
Complete engine unit built and dyno run
Engine as above with Omex Engine management, this includes complete
wiring loom and fuel system
