Er...Devon, a bit far!
The 10 BHP was a guess, it might be more! V8 Developments are very good, its worth having a chat with them.
You should be OK when refilling the motor with coolant if you fill it slowly and then run the motor up with the rad cap off for a short period. This allows the air to escape and for you to tip in extra coolant whilst the motor is running.
The only rather big fly in the ointment is that you will need to check the preload clearance and probably shim up the drain pipe! er I mean rocker shafts!! (my wife made me type that!) Realsteel to shim kits.
