I’ll use a stand alone electric transport oil pump to circulate the fluid.

I repurposed the diff cooler to my GearFX housing. Made a steel box out of 3/16 mild steel (In hindsight 1/8 might be ok). Hogged out a big hole making sure the cooler clears the center section. Weld it all back together. The 3/16 plate did not warp when I welded it.

I did the same modification to Hellfire and Jackass. I did not add this to Gunner and I could over temp the diff in 4 20 min track sessions.

VERY cool!
Does this system get an external filter of some kind?
Does it add much oil capacity overall?

Mark,

I would assume they are the reall stuff, but do you know if they are using real lead or the new "lead-less" solder.

Just curious. Car is going to be so cool! - - as yours always are. :)

Love to follow your builds Mark ....... some much craftsmanship and great ideas!!

Yes the lead is the real stuff its 80/20. The new lead-less solder just isnt the same it doesn't seem to have the bite like the old stuff does

Maybe it's already been asked and I missed it . Why are you using lead vs any type of typical bondo ?

Yes resonators before the mufflers.

If you want to get what was on Gunner Hooker sells it.

Nice Kit, is this all premade for a mini tubbed gas tank??

Correct. Worked well for my build although I did add more v-bands. They utilize a few band clamps which falls short of expectations IMO.

The engine bay is going back together today. I like this part of the project.

Packaging all the stuff in!
