Damn,
That's scary. I got a trailer JUST like that one. Same color, same bent fender. Mine is from a 62" mower deck sliding over it when loading!

Here's some more pics of the cooler for ya. I don't have any specs on the unit, I just got the longest one that would fit on the side of the frame, figured it should be sufficient. This cooler is the dual pass design.

Re: Tommys66 Build

If you mount the cooler there, could be problems when sitting in traffic.....No air circulation from fans

Well, I thought about that, but you gotta take into consideration that the radiator is about 200 degrees when trying to cool this fluid. I might add a temp gauge, and if needed I can mount a small fan above the cooler.

Re: Tommys66 Build

Definitely do the temp gauge. At least then you know if it is working.

Re: Tommys66 Build

The intake I am using is from a 99-02 model truck which had the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail, therefore it was required to run both a feed and return line to the tank. I swapped the fuel rail and crossover tube from a 05' model, which has the fuel pressure regulator at the tank. So I am going to use a corvette style filter/regulator and only have to run a fuel feed line, eliminating the long return line.

Re: Tommys66 Build

got some fittings for my trans cooler. I am going to use 6AN ss braided line. The transmission and the cooler both have 1/4" npt so I had to get adapters to go from 1/4" pipe to 6AN. 6AN is 3/8 line. The 6 is # of 1/16ths so 6/16 = 3/8

Re: Tommys66 Build

I wanted to see if I could install the an fittings without the expensive tools. It is possible, however, I did scratch the fittings a little. I will post some more pic of the finished product later.

Re: Tommys66 Build

one thing you can do if you use a cressent, is to use a wash cloth or some kind of hand town to stop it from scratching it.

Re: Tommys66 Build

I wrapped the fittings in masking tape, then a wrap of electrical tape to try to keep from scaring the fittings. It helped, but i still scuffed them a bit. I put a piece of masking tape on the hose beneath the fitting and marked it so i could tell if the red part of the fitting pulled any while tightening the blue into it.

Re: Tommys66 Build

I don't know why those fittings don't come polished, or chrome. For a Race car it wouldn't matter, but to me I think it would look better.

Re: Tommys66 Build

I installed a fuel pressure gauge at the intake. Got all the fuel line ran, along with installing a 1999 corvette fuel filter/regulator.

Re: Tommys66 Build

I had a drive-shaft made. It clears really well through the cross member. Total cost for the tube, ends, slip yolk, and u-joints = $298
