Looks like you have my luck with stuff like this. I've had a couple sets of heads I sent off for port work and both times I was a little disappointed. Both times they went back and made it right, but had to wait months on end to get my heads back. Hard to get good work these days

Eye opening video for sure. I totally get why you'd be disappointed!! I would be too. In the business of making HP, the crankshaft doesn't know who's name is on the valve covers. It's all math and airflow. I don't understand why a business that is trying to "Break into" a new potential market wouldn't put forth that little bit of extra effort to try and make their product all it could (and should) be. They certainly did for the photos used on their web site. The little bit of blending you've got to finish them shouldn't be to bad, but it looks like the transition from the intake ports into the bowls could use a little work as well. I know a lot of times when they develop a CNC port they have to leave a small percentage out (example: 3% off the model port) to allow for core shift but damn. I guess they're just trying to capitalize on their name and reputation.....until videos like this eventually diminish that. Sorry for the bad experience and good luck with your build!!

Very helpful, thanks. After looking it over, I thought this was probably how it was done, but it's best to know "for sure" before risking any damage to the trim. I intend to paint the monotone light green metallic RF fender on my 1977 D200 adventurer to match the rest of the original medium & dark green metallic finish. And I'll probably reshoot the dark green metallic on the hood, cowl & top of LF fender while I'm at it. I had already replaced some of the clips on the wide aluminum lower trim so that pointed me in the right direction. However, I've worked on other vehicles where the upper and lower mounting methods were entirely dissimilar, especially when the upper trim was a spear such as what's found on these trucks.

I think you have the largest cooling set ever installed on a 300, hahaha! Three questions - Why did you choose the 90 degree styled oil adapter from Improved Racing? Did you have clearance issues around the fitting that we cannot see? It looks as if the 90 degree adapter put your 90 degree fittings closer to the engine cradle. Tstat - Why 212* over the 200* degree option from IR?
@ZeroEmpire 2 ай бұрын
Yea, it's a pretty comprehensive cooing system. Go big or go home, right? The 90 Deg. adapter was a better overall fit and offered more clearance in other areas, although it is a little close to the cradle. I actually bought the straight adapter as well to see which one was the better fit (very nice parts). Most racers go for the higher temp from what I understand. They want the oil to get up to its optimum operating temp as quickly as possible. Water boils @ 212 deg. your oil needs to get up to near that temp to boil off any condensation that occurs from the combustion process and normal heating & cooling cycles, especially on a streetcar. That's my thinking anyway. I'm sure this can be debated. Some good info on the subject here: www.motortrend.com/how-to/engine-oil-temperature/ Thanks for watching!
@350Zquicksilver 2 ай бұрын
@@ZeroEmpire - I'm learning here myself and while your setup up is impressive, I wonder if your 50 row motor oil cooler is too large for the street (occasional track session). I read through the comments and you mentioned having to run it hard to get the motor oil up to 215*. In other words, the 50 row and 212* IR adapter are on stand by until needed, which seems seldom. Also seems your 300 is extremely efficient at keeping motor oil temps below 215*. Thanks for the link... "For a dual-purpose car, engine oil needs to be at least 220 degrees F to burn off all the deposits and accumulated water vapor. " Just an observation, thought I was seeing things (crazy)... LoL. During your video I noticed the IR adapter box label was rated 212*, but the actual IR adapter print states 215*. Any explanation? I was going to call IR and ask, what temp does your thermostatic adapter plate >start< to open. I've read the Derale 15702 starts to crack at 160* and it's fully open at 180*. Not sure where I read or heard, but any >hard< 90 degree bends in a system reduce flow by 40%. To be honest, I have know idea if that makes a difference on the IR 90 degree adapter. It could be just reference to flow in fluid systems in general. How is the IR adapter working for you, any drips from the motor oil cooling system in general? I understand this is one giant experiment for all of us, but I am just getting started and the reason I'm asking so many questions.
@ZeroEmpire 2 ай бұрын
The 50 row is rather large, but I wanted a system that would handle pretty much anything I could throw at it and be able to keep oil temps under control and the engine alive. Is it more than most "street cars" need......yea probably, but with the system being thermostatically controlled it works great for day-to-day driving and has a large capacity for extended track & high RPM use? Setrab also includes a "horsepower range" for their coolers, which is another spec I used in deciding on the size. If you're using a thermostat to control flow to the coolers, I don't think you can go too large. www.setrab.us/products/oilcoolers/engine/index.html I believe the thermostat on the Improve Racing adapter begins to open at around 204 & fully opens at 212-215 degrees. I don't have to run it Real Hard to get the temps up, but the system seems to do its job well. Even before the coolers oil temps didn't get too high under normal daily driving. I'm sure "hard" bends do restrict flow somewhat, that's why I went with the Setrab & Areoquip fittings, all their bends are nice and smooth. I've not had any issues with any of part of this entire system. thankfully. The Improved Racing stuff seems to very well-built, top-notch stuff as well as the Setrab coolers! I've used them before with excellent results. They are not cheap but are well worth the money if you ask me. No worries about the questions. I enjoy helping out where I can. Hope your project works out for you. Keep us updated.

Hey man Matt Robertson here and as you know and shouted out at the start of your vid, I did the first full-on Mopar cooling setup that kind of got that class of mod going.. I will shout out in turn to the late Bob Crespo who was the evil genius who did the real work in the trenches on that system, implementing the good ideas, coming up with several on his own and smacking down the bad ideas when they came up. One thing I REALLY like about your variation is the hose setup. As you know we went with hard stainless lines and over the years it turned out those were the system's weak point.. Vibration over time in just the wrong spot caused a shift under the hood and wore a hole in the transmission cooler line. I replaced with braided stainless bridge but your way is absolutely the right way. Interesting how you chose a stacked plate cooler for the power steering. We stayed away from those for that system because the monster finned cooler I used was totally free flowing, and also increased fluid capacity so much it doubled up on making it impossible to overheat the system while working it so hard on a road course track day.

Hey Matt, Thanks for the kind words. Your ideas where a big help to me on this project and what actually got me inspired to do it. I've used the "Push-lock" hose & Setrab coolers in that past with good luck, so that's why I went them. The stainless braided is great too, just a bit more expensive. Thanks for watching!
