FINALLY got all of the parts from LG to finish out the oil cooler. Took them a couple months but I got it. I got the thing installed after a little machining and parts chasing.
Question is, how did you route your cooler lines to keep things away from the pulley, alternator and steering knuckle. Its pretty cramped in there but so far the best way I found was through the hard lines for the power steering, just under the alternator. Also, how did you figure out how much more oil to add to the motor now with the added capacity? *8 days and counting till the Pony Express 130 |

Damn! Saw your post and thought, "Its about godamn time those oil cooler parts came in!" I'm in the same boat you were in... I've got the radiator installed for about three months now and consistantly get the same response from LGMotorsports everytime I call,"two more weeks."
So, I get real excited and give LGM a call. Still not available. Lou blames Earls for not supplying the fittings. Shit, Thats the same thing I heard three months ago. He said he didnt make a dime off of your cooler 'cause he had to pay a million dollars to buy the parts himself. He also said you nagged him so much he finally sent you something. I call BS and will machine my own oil port adapter and get hoses from summit. What sucks is that I thought about buying the radiator direct from Howe and save a few $$$. But I specifically decided to purchase from LGM because he did the legwork to get Howe a design and could provide a complete oil cooler kit. I've got to remember to be less "ethical" and more cautious with my money next time. |
