I am wondering if anyone has a good spec on the ID/OD for the two brass lines running to and from the front oil cooler? See Pix from P-Base for reference / I will be using AN fittings at the working ends for my flexible connections to the cooler and the thermostat and oil tank etc.. And does anyone know generally what the oil pressure is (hot) going to the front oil cooler??
I could also makes kit-sets for other installations if anyone is interested / Once I know how the factory did the job and I can accurately replicate the same or similar quality and product..... Thanks in advance for the input. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Attached image(s)

AN Fittings convert to actual sizes. Look it up.
On my built up 2.7, I went with AN line and braided hose. The sizes were AN 12 and AN16, and it seems to be cooling really well. The 16 is the pressure, the 12 is the scavenge. Those would be the MIN. If I was doing a hotter motor (i.e. larger) I would go 16/16 or even 16/20 |
