I'm getting ready to rebuild my 2.0 and am considering going to either 2056, or maybe even up to 2270. What are the downsides or problems associated with going 2270, if any?

Its been over a decade since we had any thermal control issues.
Pretty much the 2270 is the only engine combination that we work with now, we won't even build a single 2056 this entire year since the schedule already stretches into 2014 I know this.. Again, if you don't have the required coin for proper heads, then stick with the 2056, because you'll just be spinning your wheels. Smarter beats larger every single time. |

So, you don't use an external oil cooler in your 2270's? |
