I'm not sure how interesting this is but, I thought I'd run it past you guys.

The time finally came to lay out everything and see if the package would fit. It's just plain gotten bigger. Bigger displacement led to the need for a cooler. A bout with rod bearings led to an Accusump as insurance against a recurrence of that painful experience. My feet get cold and I'd like a little heat up here in the PNW. And I wanted to cut the tub as little as possible.

So, here is what I came up with.

I mocked up an extra case with the relevant stuff and stuck it up in the car just to make sure. Here is the package on the workbench. The cooler is on the driver's side and is feed by a scoop where the air deflector normally is. The scoop screened to keep debris from the cooler, hinged and spring loaded to close when hit.

The thermostat is on the passenger side so oil lines cross in front of the fan undr the sheet metal.

Oiling is full flow and the filter is on a remote mount off of the passenger side of the fan housing where the AC compressor would be.

The Accusump sits under the relay board. This is a bit of concern for me as I'm concerned about heat and old electronics. It may be time to work up a new relay board out of a couple of MS boards. We'll see

Much of the plumbing is running though the space between the lower firewall and the front engine tin. Not a lot of space. The orange things are rubber mount for the oil cooler. I only have a heat exchanger on the passenger side so the black tube crosses to the driver's side. It gets about 70% of the heated air via a tee on the passenger side.

It turns out there's plenty of space

The breather box and the coil packs are on the rear bulkhead.

I wouldn't worry too much about heat from the Accusump. The oil doesn't flow through it, it pulses in and out sometimes but usually it doesn't do anything. It's mostly just waiting for a loss of pressure so there's plenty of time for it to cool.
I really like your oil filter location, better than stock.

Dave, that look pretty amazing! Far beyond what I could contribute other than to say WOW!

Dave, you might consider relocating the fuel pump to the front of the car.
