I find it really hard to believe that nobody else on this website has this particular cooler installed!!


I think mine is the same one...


Thanks Rob!! Yes that is the same. Any way you could get a close up pic of the cooler mounts?

I'd like to install these rubber isolators in this exact spot and as you can see the bottom is not flat. Any ideas of what I can do here? The top brackets are easy... I'll simple use an L bracket.

Thanks,
Rob

PS - Just using the L piece shown as support so I can a good picture... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)


This is what I've done so far...

Why is the shroud covered by a shroud? Not sure that I understand this setup.

The smaller shroud smooths the airflow over the metal hump on the body and sends it through the cooler. Not absolutely needed but a nice finishing touch.

There's one under the cooler, and one over the cooler. Evidently the designer didn't want the cooler just sitting on the trunk floor, so they raised it up slightly and provided a smoothly curved "floor" for the ducting. The cooler sits on top of that inner shroud, then the outer one goes over that.

They are -12AN lines and fittings. The other lines in some of those pics are fuel, which are -6AN lines.

Slowly but surely making progress. I got everything installed and removed spark plugs to do the prime and crank pressure build. Silly me.... I was thinking that the new lines and cooler would probably hold a couple more quarts of oil than before. After adding 7 quarts total!! I finally, after about 3 sessions of cranking for about 20-30 seconds per session, got pressure!! Just about 25 psi worth! And I still need to add another quart to top it off. Can't wait to get this baby back on the road!!

That's how the factory did it. Getty design is just a fiberglass replica.

Somebody posted shots on a similar thread of the really neat job they did installing a front oil cooler while retaining the chrome bumper.

I have done a forum search and can't seem to find that post... Could anybody help me with that?

The car in question is light ivory, if that is of any help.


Cheers!

Mine isn't light ivory, but I did the same cooler and a steel bumper. The cooler itself is a Setrab replica of the one used in the 70's on the GT cars. The shroud is a Getty design product. My bumper can be replicated by Original Customs in Grand Rapids Michigan. They did all of the install and fabrication on mine. The bill for the bumper is not for the faint of heart and frankly, I think McMark gave me a good deal on it since the person he was building it for got lightheaded over the price, but expect +- $2000 for this bumper. Oh, and that's after you supply the bumper! The chrome is so good, I'm sending in my already rechromed rear bumper for a redo at the place McMark uses...
