If you are heading down this way give me a holler.

Re: New to me Skater.
Here is the massive oil coolers I will run.
I feel the older Gil (savage) oil coolers were enough on the
old engines that were in the Hustler ,But most likely will not cut it in the big dinasaur.
I will run a 215 degree oil Tstat to keep it right above
the boiling point of water.
These are going in the outside gunnels in the drive line
bays. with the Marine machine Strainers so they will
be somewhat hidden.

Re: New to me Skater.
Here is the installation of the strainers and the
oil coolers you can just about see the coolers under the
strainer.
Now when Trick Marine sends me the oil t-stats.
I will squeeze them in there aswell.

Pete I took your advice on the coolers.
Glad yourmaking progress. I pick up the drive shafts
in the am. I told him they were for a race boat
he said he just sent some to Outerlimits.
Good to know he,s done this before. He added
a 4 inch slip shaft. Just in case I gotta run crash boxes.
Pete can you leave me one bolt hole each side of the trannys?
Preferably the lowers. Can you use one of the uppers holes
for the t-stat mount?
I am adding a third mount. I would like to support it there.
