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 TOT |

Couple of things ...
1. Running under the tank is easy, there's already a boxed section that will fit two oil lines nicely. See Pics below. 2. Venting through fender wells works, but will significantly heat up your brakes and tires. Probably not a problem for a street car, but for a track car, that's a no no ... I'm currently venting mine out the bottom using the two large holes in the front trunk that are plugged by the factory with those round metal caps. Works well enough but eventually, i will make a shroud to vent up and out the hood. 3. Running oil lines inside the long. Works but you will have to make a pretty tight bend getting out of the long in the front, either on top of on the side. Either way, you'll have a hard time not to kink the lines and restrict oil flow. I just ran the lines on the inside next to the pass. long. Straight shot to the rear and i added a thermostat inside the rear firewall, close to the engine.
