I finally got around to installing my aux oil cooler. Used a Mocal thermostatic sandwich plate and Derale fan/cooler. Aeroquip blue hose with -8AN push on ends connected it up. Hose runs next to valve cover and zip ties to the wire bales (should make valve adjustments interesting). I removed the heater J tube on the passenger side to route the cooler lines. Since that J tube was just capped anyway, I just removed the J tube and put the cap where the J tube normall attaches to the heat exchangers. So there is no change to the heating system.

Demick,
I have a similar setup and have been happy with it. It the oil lines bother you too much in that location, you might try running them the way I did. Since you already removed the passenger J pipe, run the oil lines up into the engine compartment, then stright back, exiting out 2 holes cut into the rear engine sheet metal. This will keep them out of the way. That's assumming you have room in the engine compartment. I put red circles on your picture to show where the would exit. Attached image(s) |
