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.

On my race car, both dash 12 lines run through the right side heater ducts and through a single hole in the front bulkhead. I was concerned about the return line picking up heat but found it was not an issue. I have a vent that exits under the front trunk and have seen not issues with additional air as I, like Andy run a very deep front spoiler. If you do vent out the top, through the front deck lid you'll pick up some slight amount of down force due to the air exiting. In any case you will get the best cooling effect from fabricating some aluminum ducting to help the air get into the cooler and out the car instead of letting it just move around on it's own.
You can get some garden hose and run it from the engine to/from the cooler and use that to figure how long the actual lines have to be since measuring something like this is nearly impossible. When I did mine I actually added an extra foot over the hose length and it was needed! |
