That looks awesome. How is it you get so much done? I'm bustin' my hump here while you are leaving me in the dust and fabricating parts for other people's cars right and left to boot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)


@bbrock it's mostly just bolting parts on right now.. That goes fast.. I need to get back at frunk paint prep.. I still am cleaning up PO repair area .. I have made the decision that because the car was hit and repaired back in the late 70s early 80s I am just going to clean it up and not reinvent the wheel.. That will save time but ultimately this car will not be to the level of your car when completed.. I like to think of this car as a track car that just is more street setup.

Well not much happened today but did gap spark plugs and installed. My youngest son went for a "ride" in the car after school today. He says he is ready to start helping again now that he can help reinstalling parts.. Attached Image

Will you get enough cooling from the front cooler alone? BTW, that part looks amazing so I hope it does work well.

I have a huge front cooler even larger then the GT Cooler. I am going to put in fans to help cooling when at idle..

I'm doing the same thing on my 3.2 conversion. Cooling should be more than adequate. Air is outside temp, not engine compartment temp. Oil cooler is directly facing oncoming air, not relying on engine produced airflow. Cooler can be larger than engine cooler and a fan can be added to supplement airflow at low car speeds. You also get about 15% more air directed at the heads for additional cooling since the engine cooler duct is blocked off.

Porsche dropped the engine cooler and went solely to front cooling on their 3.6 engine before going watercooled. Why spend money on a front oil cooler just to use it as an axillary system when it can easily be the sole oil cooling system for the car. It also increases reliability by not using a 30-50 year old engine cooler.

I love the way Ben's mod makes it fit the stock oil lines. - smart!

That is some magic welding man.
What can be more straightforward than Barr? Multiply by 15 eh. For carpentry feet and inches makes more sense than meters to me. Beyond that though a degree Celsius or even Centigrade is ok.

Doesn’t the foil make it look real and making progress?
