Somewhat getting my a** kicked trying to get a conversion completed. We have a decent chassis and a fresh 2.7 that has made the rounds from Ollies and Eksten's. Still running a small business and often prioritize kids/grandkids when it comes to free time. It is coming up on two years and currently attempting to work through oil lines, exhaust, do I need an external cooler or not??
All the guys who have done them, would you do it again? |

More details: 1. considering a heat shield between the header/oil cooler 2. -16 oil line fitting is 1/8" from header, dimple header? 3. Large 1/2" or so gap from top of engine tin to rubber gasket It must end somewhere If I was doing this for a customer the hours rack up quickly 1. No 2. No 3. Don't worry about that yet. I like to wrap or sleeve the oil lines from the oil cooler connection back to the oil tank. I have never done it near the oil cooler exit. Keep that open. Matt |
