6.2 rookie

Just picked up a 6.2 and 6 speed auto to go in my fully custom built bagged and bodied 97 expedition. Ive read some of the threads on here and it seems like everyone is pleased with their 6.2. But i have a couple questions.

What are some of the things (good or bad) i should know about the 6.2? Does and donts

Is their any difference in height of the f250 intake vs the raptor intake? I really dont wanna run a cowl hood but this motor is huge. I havent gotten around to settin it into place yet but should be getting ready to in the next few days

What kind of radiator do i need to run?

Any other info or insight is appreciated....thanks guys

I wish I could help, but my Raptor came with the 6.2 so I didn't have to do any of the fab work :P It sounds like it should be a cool project, definitely keep us updated!
