Threadjack... Hey IJ, you think maybe you could scrounge up a '74 Falcon XB-GT Cobra for me for free? I wanna do up a nice "V-8 Interceptor" conversion... :evil2: :evil2: :evil2: :evil2: :evil2:
There was a time I could have answered yes but these days they're getting hard to find and starting to pull good $$$... :nono:

As IJ stated, i have 1/4 rubber grommets between the cooler and the radiator and the washers. no metal to metal. :naughty:
I was thinking of mounting mine above my A duct. I would have to cut into it a bit more and mount the cooler a little back from the actual opening and make a Turbo A duct like sleeve so it would look clean and not ricer with just a oil cooler sitting flush? I have a beat up nose from a front clip I should mock some thing up.

Good to see I am not the only tard that welds support brackets directly to my chassis.
doesn't the oil hose result in the grounding of the cooler though? Or are you using push-lok hose?
I also love the idea of mounting a fan with the cooler to Help with air flow. And on The B&M site they are selling kits for almost $220+!!!! But I saw something interesting the other day on The JBLMK3 Site that would provide a partial Fix to Help with that Price.

Although the other Kit is Direct bolt on to a B&M cooler This should help with flow a little bit. Just thought I'd try and Contribute in some way :biglaugh:

I knew those looked familiar... I've got a ton of those for this particular reason!
Good one IJ. I just mounted mine between the radiator and the condenser. Mounted to the condenser. I have no A/C so I guess heat isn't a factor.
This is where i got my fan mounted unit. http://www.derale.com/
They are on page 19 of the catalog. I didnt buy it direct from them I think I bought it through another retailer for about $100.00. Its a solid built unit with a nice fan set up.

Push-lock for sure
My car has the 2 Thermofans>IC>Oil Cooler>AC Condensor>2 Trans Coolers>PWR Rad> 2 Thermofans on a Falcon shroud.
I ran the same combination on the 7M with an engine fan instead of the last 2 Thermo's and it ran fine even in Summer traffic.
I did however run a DC Electric water pump to cover the holes in the Toyot pumps delivery (Low flow at idle and cavitation above 7000 rpm)

Sweet! Thanks for the link. I think I had that saved loooong ago on my old computer. I would like some of those Wide Washers though. The dual-spray ones are weak.
