Tom did you just make that plate that your cooler clamps to? Looks like it’s bolted to the bell housing.

I did make the plate… 1/4-inch aluminum.






The mounts holding it to the plate are from CP Perf. I used steel bushings to give me some forward space and to strengthen the attachment. I also have the relay for my fuel pump attached to the other side. It closes up the inspection plug for the bellhousing but if I really need to get in there, I’ve got much bigger problems.

Pic from Mr. Cool:



Helpful?

Tom you meant t-state side of cooler (to the RIGHT side picture) Finally rigged, plumped etc and ready to drop in. Had to make a run downstate this weekend.

Can’t edit it.

But yes, right side of the pic of the flow diagram.

I think I was referring to the pic of my setup above the flow diagram post.

Running today, my oil temps stayed right around 185-190.
