Installed my oil cooler today. Some folks probably saw the thread where this setup was created so I won't go into any detail here. The first step was to apply some foam tape to all the sealing surfaces before installing the intake plenum. This creates a seal between intake and the body.

I used very thin, easily compressable foam to seal between the coolr and the intake plenum.

Here's the outlet (or exhaust) plenum. I bonded three small fans into the plenum for a "traffic jam" scenario. I don't feel I'll need these otherwise. They'll be hooked to a switch and only used if/when needed. They actually throw quite a bit of air.

Next came installing the plenums, cooler and oil lines. I used 45 degree bulkhead fittings under the tank. That gave the hose a nice path to the cooler.

I didn't, got a link?? Looks amazing!

Beautiful!

Shoddy...

Do you have to call the Geek Squad if one of those fans goes bad?

The intake flanges pass through the openings in the body and air dam. It gives it kind of a buck tooth smile

I also intalled the gas tank and the car's ready to sit on it's wheels for the first time. I plan to get it off the stand it's on and hopfully install the engine this weekend!

Here's the heart of the beast ready for installation (after I bolt the sheet metal on)

dang nice!!!

Those fans work great .I use 2 on my amp in my boat moves enough air to keep it cool from shutting down when it's 117 degrees outside.Great setup

That is beautiful,


I must say,we have some serious craftsman associated with this site.



Way yo go!

that is the nicest cooler install I have seen but I don't think those tiny fans are going to do anything but block the airflow.
