Then I’m using earls fittings and hose to run over to my mechanic fuel pump, and then to the FITech equipment. Will also be running a 5/16 return line back to the tank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted August 19, 2018 No. Photo was at a bad angle. Cooler is inboard of the fender and headlight mounting area. Tried to put it on opposite side from factory Drag Pack (see pic), in similar location. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newstang 388 Report post Posted August 21, 2018 Oh, i see, the 70 stang does not have the same mounting of headlight buckets. you have more room there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted September 6, 2018 Busy summer has impacted my wrench time, but slowly finishing up my final wiring tie-ins and plumbing in the engine compartment. Installed my radiator overflow, front radiator support and radiator, electric fans, oil temperature sensor, started on my oil cooler lines. Some temporary wire ties in the pictures, just need to do the final alignment before I lock the locations in. 2 latoracing and Shep69 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johns Summer of 69 14 Report post Posted September 18, 2018 Its looking great. There is a sense of pride when you can say "I built that" I would love to do this to my engine bay. Maybe a few years down the road. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted October 9, 2018 Thanks guys. Getting close to the end, so trying to move slow and do it right... Finished my oil cooler plumbing, and also my fuel system plumbing to the FiTech Fuel Command Center. Installed my radiator upper hose. Used one of those flex kits with the inserts. Really easy to use. Make sure you get the one that has the billet end caps, not the plastic ones. I have modified the FiTech FCC to remove the float and use the former vent as a fuel return line back to the tank. Next steps are to finish my lower radiator hose and temperature sensor installation, finish the trans cooler plumbing, install my deep sump C-6 pan and trans dipstick. Then on the ground and off to Mike's to watch him do some magic with my exhaust system. Won't reveal my idea, but will be very cool. 3 SWPruett, 69Stanger408 and Cantedvalve reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantedvalve 128 Report post Posted October 16, 2018 Wow... just shows that it takes more than just hiding wires to make a clean and attractive engine bay. Nice work Vic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted October 17, 2018 Thanks. As I get closer to being done, I am finding myself taking shortcuts...but trying not to do that if I can help it. I am very close to getting the car on the ground again. Just have a small punch list of items that I gotta get done before I do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted October 21, 2018 I installed all my fuses and powered up my electrical system today for the first time. No sparks, smoke, fires, or blow fuses. I tested a few things like my manual over-ride for my PWM fan controller. Worked perfectly. I did voltage checks at all my power points in the system, and all was good. I decided to see if the car would crank over. This is what happened. IMG_4214.MOV 3 SWPruett, fvike and MAC390 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
