Guys:
Tried search but came up empty .
I am installing front cooler in conversion. Thought I would make a change from last one.
I would like to run lines thru bulkhead and under gas tank (without removing it) and thru blower opening to heater tubes in longitudinals.
1. Can this work
If so.....
2. need a specific reference point from which to locate holes in bulkead so as to clear everything .
Any and all help is appreciated ...

Oh one more ....placing cooler at front inside trunk. Have shroud. CAn I exit air through inner fender wells ( I know I will need holes in side of shroud and ducting ......or is there a better plan.
Thanks

There are probably just as many ways and ideas on how to run oil lines as there are conversions out there!

Here's what I did; follow the pictures - there is a channel under the gas tank that you can run the oil lines through, and you don't need to remove the tank. You need to cut holes in the lower corners of the front trunk area, and in the foot wells. You can then run them into the heater ducts in the rockers then back all the way to the engine (no pics of this, but you get the idea).

On the passengers side, I chose to run the oil line up higher so it wasn't on the floor for fee to hit - so I had to remove the tank. But in my race car, the lines go all the way through onto the bottom - where I currently have the power line that you see.
