Sorry, checked my parts pile and I don't have one. I'll be visiting my machine shop probably early next week, I'm sure he's got one laying around. I think places like Summit have the pieces to bolt on to remote mount the filter or for oil cooler, but not the the stock spin-on filter.

Yep, according to my spin-on conversion kit, this piece is called a "By-pass valve assembly".

My new adaptor bolts to it. It then accepts the spin on filter.

I checked the local parts store and their external oil coolers all need this bypass assembly also.

bypass valve assembly pic. 2 bolts hold it in. Adaptor goes on top of it.

Doesn't anyone have one of these just sitting around???? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Cool. As tonight the bottom end is buttoned up as well as front. Tomorrow the intake system goes on. Then it's off to the drivetrain.

I can't hardly believe it's coming together.... No, really. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

great deal on a QUIET fuel pump. =-)

Part of the secret of a quiet fuel pump is to keep it isolated from the body of the car. HUGE difference. I ended up suspending mine with heavy duty zip ties... Very quiet.

Ha, I have one of those pumps on the shelf. It was pretty noisy, though. I've got my fuel pump mounted right behind the driver on the engine compartment sidewall, there are probably better locations to mount it.

I replaced the Mallory with a Carter, it's only a little quieter, but it's better.

I need that exact same part for my H.O crate motor. I need the one for 69 or later models.

This guy on ebay has it for 15.00 compared to the 25.00 bucks at the chevy dealer.

This evenings updates.

Got the radiator via UPS. Looks like the fans will fit well on it with a shroud.

Got intake and carb on. Dizzy on. Front motor mount on.
Previous pics were test fits. =-)

Oh yea', and finally found a cheap bypass valve online... What a pain in the arse.

With the first cuts in the front trunk, I kinda' feel like I'm deflowering my 14.

I'll get over it quick. =-)

Damn it, I told myself "no more toes in any pics"....

Looks good man (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif). How are you going to mount that radiator?

So.... Why did you cut that area for the inlet?

You realize that that area is normally left to guide the air from the front bumper... Since the front bumper gets much more airflow than the bottom of the car (unless properly "scooped")

Curious... What research let you to decide to cut there?

Everything else looks really good!

Andy,
I think it was 914GT's pics where I got the idea for the opening. 105 degree Arizona heat test can't be bad.

I understand the Ram effect and scooping air up into the radiator and now that you mention it I may put some of the floor back in to amplify the scooping effect.

Highway cruising is not what I was worried about. It is the commute driving and having maximum air flow into the system at low to no speed.

Whoops, sorry Eric for lagging....

I'm going to weld-up some "slide in" type of brakcets. So I can just disconnect hoses and wires and slide it out. Top view might look kinda like ([ ]) .

Little update.

Picked up 2 pieces approx. 1 1/4" X 6' conduit. Water lines up to and back from the radiator.

Also picked up some radiator protection stuff. Thick screen door material. Strong and let's the air through nicely.

The plan is to use 250 degree epoxy to fasten fittings to the ends of the conduit for hose connectivity.

Routing under the rockers is appealing except I think that the front of the pipe has to go through the front wheel well. Has anyone done anything different to route that puppy?

I apreciate all of your thoughts and would rather hear it from you now than hear it from you later... LOL (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Roger, you sure you want to trust epoxy for that? I don't know but your operating temps are not too far below the epoxy's rating and it's under pressure. Sure hate for you to blow a hose off when hot and under pressure. What kind of conduit did you go with?
