Hi All - I've been looking into different solutions for merging the two coolant outputs on the 6-cylinder suby motors into a single tube. I finally found something that should work pretty well with these guys Jags That Run. The idea is to use a "T" to merge the two 1-1/8" outlets into a single 1-1/4" hose. The fitting would also be tapped for a 1/4" nipple which would be used as a steam line and routed back to a surge/expansion tank. The following pictures show a rough diagram of my expected set-up and then some examples of their "T" fittings. (Note that I didn't bother including any of the return lines in the diagram)
I'm posting this to see if anyone else would be interested in this fitting since right now it's a one-off production. If I just purchase the one it will be ~$80. However; if I can get 10 or more orders the price will come down to about $30/each! So...any interests?  (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.jagsthatrun.com-3684-1414093000.1.jpg) |

FWIW, your right bank will run cooler than the left because there will be less resistance on that side. Why? Less distance. The tee should be centered between the outlets. IOW, if the left side has one 90 and 15" developed run to the T the right side should be identical. Not saying it won't work, just expect the temps to differ between the L&R banks.

I agree the T should be in the center. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
