Unless there's a massive pump in the system, I expect there to be problems with pressure drop across that heat exchanger, which will cause everything else to perform poorly. I say this because it looks to be a 2 pass. For a v8 putting out 1+ bar, I expect that you'd want a heat exchanger about twice that size to keep your coolant around ambient and your IATs as low as possible. If you've got the space, heat exchanger area is cheap.
