I'm finalizing my Suby conversion and I can seem to make myself put the cooling lines under the car.
I can think of one person (Britain) who has put the cooling hoses in the longs, but I was hoping to get some feedback on the difficulty of installation and how well it works form some suby or V8 guys. Part of the problem is that I haven't ever cut into the longs myself. One one hand I don't want to put extra heat in the cabin or lose foot space but on the other, I hate the shortcut look of the under car routing. Do the bends in the hose cause cooling issues? Can the hoses go into the longs without taking foot space? Should I put them under the car and re-route them as a future winter project? Thanks! |

Here is the headache bend that needs to clear the tire.
If this was prebent SS tube I think it would work. I may be talking with friends over at FMF motorcycle racing to bend the SS tube. Attached thumbnail(s)
