Hi Jeff,
If you can wait a couple of days, I can probably tell you. I'm flying
out tomorrow to meet with Dawg and get ready for SSCC.
I don't see why using the heater ports wouldn't work. For a racing
application having no heater core in the cabin, it's like having two
dedicated ports already available just for this purpose. If you want to
still use the heater core, then you'd plumb the cooler either before or
after the core. If before, it will take longer for your heater to warm
up; if after, it will cool the oil more.
That's my perspective.

Hi Jeff,

However, I don't recall nor have I been able to find any information on
how the water side was plumbed in a Pantera. This Fluidyne unit has
3/4 inch pipe water connections where the smaller Ford Police
interceptor units such as this:

use a standard radiator hose size water connection and go directly in
series with the main radiator lines.
How do people plumb in the Fluidyne unit? The 3/4 inch connections are
way too small to be installed in series with the radiator. Are the
heater water lines adequate?
Can anyone tell me how this was done or show me a photo or web link for
this information?
Thanks all!
