Wow this one nice set up. Very well thought out , reduces weight , clutter , cost efficient and brings your trans and rear to working temp while at idle.
That is some real big boy engineering.

This is going to be the baddest PT car out there period.

Congrats mark

...try imagining Garth doing the run down. It worked for me.

I remember reading about the diff cooler. I'd think the plates would be larger and spaced farther apart due to the diff fluid viscosity.

Default The art of engineering

I have followed your previous builds, read your book (loved it for the advice and explanations on why you do it the way you do your builds), and really like the rendering of Hellfire. You prove that good engineering is so beautiful that to me it is art. Yes, there is science in what you do but the result if a work of art. Can't wait to see video of it making runs on a track.

I bet Charley doesn't respond well to challenges... just a guess.

Mark,

I love the oil to oil diff cooler, very innovative. What seals the cooler to the rear end housing? Is there a rubber seal or a welded bulkhead type fitting?

I'm relatively new here and just saw this. I remember reading about some of your camaro's in HOT ROD before I could even drive many years ago. Wow have they progressed over the years. They were inspriational then and just as much so now. I really love the factory parts style builds. I wish there was something modern from buick to work into my GN.
