Tis going on the frame rail right after the tank selector valve, figured since tis made for a cop car it'll hold up to the abuse and lovely MI winter road conditions much better than a regular copper-soldered stacked-plate heat exchanger Tis going in this weekend!

Take pics please, I'd like to see how you hook that one up?

Pressure lines will come off, barb fittings will go in their place with regular 3/8 fuel hose attached to them. Main coolan ports will have to be brought down to 5/8 somehow, I'm gonna hit the Lowe's for fittings and such. Then the whole thing gets mounted to the framerail with band-clamps or even worm-clamps. Pics will be taken for sure.

Thanks man, it should be good, nothing a bit of redneck engineering can't make work By the way, I see you have a new avatar-thingie ;p

It's similar to our block-mounted oil coolers, does the same thing too, only this lives in the bottom of the radiator support. Tis a police-special thing, most civilian cars don't have it.

Hey, you're talking about the fittings from 5/8 hose to the big one the cooler uses? Are they in the "help" section, as in they're something universal? I'll have to hit Jackson's NAPA then, hope they even have one, haha!

cool, if you are looking for fittings mcmastercarr online is great for that stuff if you cant find it local.

Here's another similar unit, this is for an LS1 but should work as well:

Jred, I'll check McMaster, thanks.

Speaking of coolant lines and such - since I'm doing a wmo heater too - what size are the threads on the head coolant ports on the 6.9? Anyone know? I can't get out to the truck to check it out myself at the moment...

no not in the help section ull half to talk to a counterperson and theyll know or should know what your looking for

How big do those things get? Cause the cooler has outlets for a radiator hose which is at least 1-1/4", whereas I need to step them down to 5/8" - McMaster Carr didn't seem to have anything of that sort, or at least I couldn't find it.
