I'm aware of the radiator, I've got a single core radiator at the moment so that's gonna be first to go when the motor gets swapped. I'm going to convert to carburetor, so intake and carb are on the list as well.

I already realize this isn't going to be a cheap swap, but I guess the end result should be worth it.
