Yes I did use it on Mayhem and plan to use it on XV. They say you can use it with DSE mounts. Maybe with DSE base LS mounts that has the engine farther forward. With DSE LS7 engine mounts the A/C crashes into the sub frame. So for a few hours work we set the engine back 3/4 of an inch. Give them a call and see which DSE mounts it works with. I need the space so I have my engine back as far as it will go.

On the reservoir I’ve done it a couple ways. One is for a fill point and a air trap. To make your life easier make the fill point the highest point in the engine bay. If you can make it so any trapped air accumulates there. On Mayhem I did a fill/ reservoir/ air water separator. I made a 1 gallon tank that feed the intercooler pump. It was a tall tank that also was the fill point and had space at the top to be a air accumulation point. It worked great. A reservoir (or extra coolant) just adds capacitance to the system. If you have space it helps keep the temps more stable.

I quick note on how I modified the Anvil mirrors. You need to use the internals from a 2nd Gen Camaro mirrors. I don't like the cable operated drivers side mirror so I make my own mount using a stud ball from McMaster Carr and make a few small parts.







I also had to make mount to bond to the mirrors to mount the mirrors to the doors.

Pretty sure there's a market to have these bit mass produced Mark! I'd love to eliminate the cable on my driver's side mirror! Tight work!

That oil temp is surely too cool. This makes a very good point though. You could downsize the oil cooler, at the same time, you aren't adding that thermal load to your cooling system. I would guess that you don't have piston squirters.....

I don't want to take over this thread with a bunch of technical talk, but am very interested in continuing the conversation....I'll start, or find another cooling thread somewhere else later

Mark, Do you have any updates for us? After seeing Mayhem yesterday at Autorama you are going to be hard pressed to raise the bar again.
