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 |

The lines should be available from any racing supply house. I bought my lines from Pegasus Racing in Wisconsin. They should also be available from Earl's, Racer's Wholesale, etc. Just try Googling braided oil lines and you should get lot's of hits. Pegasus is local for me, so they were the easiest. Prices can be high, but you get what you pay for. There are cheaper lines out there (nonbraided), but I think the extra security of knowing that a rock or something else that could hit it will not damage the line. The biggest concern is to be sure to use grommets whenever the lines go through a bulkhead, and proper clamps to support the hose, as the braided lines act just like a metal file on surfaces that they contact
