I don't need a stinking oil cooler....
The factory one is more of a heater than anything.

Sounds really good that was a pretty quick install. Did you do the trunnion upgrade? Pushrods? Etc

I always thought that cross member mod was a real good one. And you show the reason for a ls2 dampener the metal spring that forces the plastic over to guide the chain slack breaking.... . How ever those welds in the pic....MEH hopefully it looked better before paint, but you can not all tell things from pics...LOL the one that's the most noticeable in the pic stops with a glob yet I can tell the other side looks like a good stitch...LOL its hard looking under a car with light pic hey its getting dirty under there!!!!! And of course the welding the other sides of things with a wire feed a pain in limited space. But a stick might do it easier for the frame welds just follow the contour with the stick blind or not...LOL
