I have been putting parts together for this for a long time. I started with oil lines (hard gt lines) , oil tank side oil lines, now onto cooler and lines up to it.. Next will be t stat area.
I want to share what progress along the way as folks ask me often if I have a kit and well "working on it" Here is a really nice oil cooler I plan to use in the kit. Notice the angle of the inlets and how they are divided.. |

You can buy that hose in bulk from Elephant Racing for $11.00 per foot. They have 3 types. They have some 30MM cohline fittings. I purchased mine with one set of ends crimped, and the other loose. I then fitted them, sent them back to be crimped. I would have bought the crimping tool myself but it's $1,600.
Another thing on the use of EZ Turn, it helps tremendously in preventing cross threading. You seem to be able to get a positive thread engagement quicker, and know for sure when you don't. To make it simple, it helps prevent show stopping damage to your fittings during engine installs etc. MB |
