hey dan
are you cooling both the motor & trans with your bellhousing coolers? we plumbed ours to cool the motor only, then run a 3rd cooler for the trans. best of luck with the project. btw not sure if that red is going to match the boat.

Hey Todd, you run both coolers just for the motor? That`s a lot of cooling.
I actually ended up going from a 13 plate engine cooler to a 9 plate. The oil temp was too low with the 13, the 9 plate heats up the oil better and faster and helps with condensation. (in cold lake Michigan)
Abones: My heads ended up at 133ci. after the chamber work, the flat tops will bring up my compression a full point. to about 8.5;1. That should get me to about 940ish hp.

Figured as much when I seen those dish pistons and the pictures of the cyl head work! should be nice with the correct springs, and rocker geometry. gonna run nice..

hi dan
changed to bigger coolers a few years ago and it would always heat up, went to the bellhousing style last year plumbed them together and works perfect. i keep a pin strip tape mark on the oil temp gauge (and some others) always where it needs to be.
