For the fall, I am interested in getting my 6 conversion car completed. I am going with a Mocal front cooler and wanted a little extra cooling for the hot Alabama summers. I am considering using the Wolverine boiler finned cooling lines to run up the longitudinal and putting a 12an fitting on each end to help the cooling to the cooler and back to the engine. I don't know anything about these lines or if this would help any. Can someone who has used this stuff give me a little feedback so I don't make a mistake.
Thanks! Jimmy |

I think the Aeroquip line is quite insulating and not very condusive to dissipating heat, but it easy to work with and quite strong. It also won't crack at a welded joint, so there is a bit of security there. I would imagine that a Mocal cooler with a properly vented airbox should be more than adequate. I used an old Turbotrol cooler mounted horizontally on the floor of my front trunk, with an airbox funneling air through it and out the bottom of the trunk floor. It keeps the oil cool enough that I don't have overheating problems on a moderately massaged 2.7, so unless you have a very modified 3.0, I don't think you will have any issues with overheating.
