Oil tank/ cooler plumbing help Options

[chad newton]

Ok, I am going to end up with my tank in the back in the battery box position and run a regular cooler in the front. I have no idea how to plumb it. Can I run aluminum hard line or should I go with some type of hose? Where do you run your cooler from, oil tank or engine? Is there any pressure in this system at all? Even a good link would be awesome that I could do my research on. Thanks again.

Engine sump to external thermostat that splits to the front cooler and tank, returns to tank. If you have a external filter you plumb that before the tank.
Battery tray location is going to be a bit on the high side.

I went through every thought on how to do a DIY tank cheaper, in the end I said screw it and bought a DW tank.
My research concluded front tank on a racecar, stock location tank on a street car.

Anyone wants it I have a cut up (in half) early 70's 911 tank that you can have for $20 +postage, good for parts if you feel like welding up a steel tank.

I think I will mount it in the front. I may just have to move my battery back to the regular spot. I will soon run out of room eapecially when mounting a cooler. Maybe I can make a shelf in front as well. If I put it all in the front do u think there will start becoming a weight issue?
