Moving the Engine Oil Cooler

A couple of posts back I said that moving the engine oil cooler would be "a piece of cake". Wrong!

I spent most of the weekend cutting the LS7's stock oil cooler manifold apart, fabricating and mounting brackets so that it can be mounted to the frame, using part of the stock maniflod to route oil thru AN-8 hoses to the now remote oil cooler etc.

It is complicated to describe. After I order some aluminum weld on AN fittings from Earl's Indy Servishop and get them welded in place, I'll post pix of the assembled arrangement.

Mufflers are in. Hopefully JT will be able to finish the exhaust system this coming week. Lots more to do but progress is being made.
