Well, that is basically what I did. I utilized the same radiator (under the assumption that if I went German for the blocks, I'd at least have to keep the 77 Bonneville to help against restriction vs. a tubed Airplex 240) and then switched all the tubing to 10mm and to a 1048 (which I'm assuming the 1048 is "high performance" in Germany compared to a 1046).
Anyways, if I get a good deal on a swiftech MCW6000, perhaps I can donate my Alphacool Nexxos HP Pro, seen

(although its rank is 3rd compared to the XP which is first that PUG suggested).
