but in my case, having someone else to (a fab shop) do all the work would probably go over the cost effectiveness of it .....I love the idea in principle that the dd15 has a much better cooling capacity
then a mfr. marine closed cooling system (shell & tube) but just wondering where this would end up for me if I get my feet wet.........post up (pic) as you get to completion, seems it's going in the right
direction.

Just to follow-up on installing CC on my twin engines, I spoke with Marc (BAM) and inquired to buy his closed cooling setup pictured in post #11.... he sent me numerous pictures and measurements, but advised that his CC system was way over kill for my setup. After measuring it didn't take long to realize he was right, just want to thank Marc for taking the time and trouble for getting it down off the shelf to satisfy my persistence. He told me to call .... Brandon @ Mr. COOL he advised they don't make a CC system for a BBC engines....really???..I guess he knows!

No problem at all, once I had taken the time for the pix I was able to list them in the Swap Shop instead of being lost in the archives :)

Now on to the next - my old stuff must go
