Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

I had one hydroboost line shortened 2". Rearranged some of the other lines to fit better.

I dug up the factory LS thermostatic oil-cooler adapter, disassembled the unit, dug out the original hardline (sheared by the wreckers who pulled it), drilled and tapped 1/2" NPT for -10AN (need to pick up another fitting). I'll use the oil cooler I didn't use on the V8 Firefly.



IN and OUT are on the left; threaded end up top is the plug to hold the thermostatic valve

Also added an IAT bung as well as a Methanol Injection bung.



Also, since I am running -8AN fuel line to the fuel rail, I am going to use the remote oil filter mount from the V8 Firefly oil cooler kit as a fuel filter holder, with a WIX 33382.
