Very nice job on the web page, Tony.
I'll echo everything Tony says there. I bought the Ford style, and had it
installed ready to run in less than a day. That included two trips to my
local auto parts store where I asked the owner to go in the back and take a
look at his wall of hoses. I made a couple of notes on the angles and pipe
sizes needed, and using pipe and hose clamps I cobbles up two hoses to make
things work. Tony's idea of using a muffler shop to fab the bends and size
changes in the hoses sounds smart.
The only issues with the Ford style install are the lower hose points right
at the pinion on the steering rack, and watch out for where the bracing on
the stock steel hood falls, on my car it fouled the radiator cap. Nothing
drastic, but it took a bit of caressing to make it work.
Bring cardboard to the track to block across the radiator unless you run a
thermostat. You will run colder than you want to!
