Thanks, also trying to hide all of the underhood wiring harness I can.

Building air intake ducting out of 4" aluminum tubing, TIG welded to make it look like one piece.

The A/C compressor is going to be up and on the passenger side, using a slightly modified Newman A/C bracket/tensioner and a polished Sanden compressor.

More pics next week.

I may Jet hot coat the intake tubing the same as the headers. I used a "crystal Black" coating.

I have a source for mandrel bent 4" pipe if you need it.

Default Few Pics of the oil coolers

Getting closer:

Transmission and engine oil coolers:

Installed: Side shot from passenger side frame rail. Front is to the right.



Front View: This view is the top of the cooling assembly. Fans are thermostatically controlled.



Parts: These are all of the components broken down.



Bracket: This is what the fans/shroud and cover bolt to. Heavy duty side flanges bolt to frame.



Shroud:

Looks great man!!

That little heat exchanger might have trouble keeping that Maggie from getting too hot.

These are just the trans fluid and the engine oil coolers. The radix heat exchanger is in front of the radiator.
