Lower cooling setup drivingme to drink..

typhoon43 · 03-16-2009, 10:00 PM

OK,
After spending another 20 bux on crazy adapters and parts, I am having a BI*CH of a time getting my lower rad hose setup done. I keep trying to include the built in oil cooler in my plans, but I'm at wits ends. It would take too many 90° fittings and clamps since my crossover pipe blocks the standard hose routing. I just saw this at JEG's and want to make sure this will work. I assume it screws onto the oil filter mount, and I then run lines to a remote filter housing and e-fan cooler. It's either this or I just don't run a cooler at all. I figured it would be beneficial to include the cooler now that I'm adding a turbo. Thoughts?

Here's the piece..

Relocated Oil Filter

Over in the Gen 2 section. I am thinking of doing MrGadget's setup but only running back to the frame instead of forward.

Thx Agent. Might as well blow my load and get the good stuff.

What do they want for that? Where did you find it?

I am guessing it replaces the water outlet from the block, right?

If you take off the big aluminum stock passages you will need a new motor mount.

Please take pictures if you put that on.

That's the Ford Racing piece. It's 180.00
OUCH.

New motor mount would be a b*tch Right now. I may go back to the sandwich route. I'm going to be looking at an Butt-ton of extra work, and close to 450.00 in parts/fittings.

Uggh.
