Many breaks were required to warm our hands��man it was cold.

I am only going with one heat exchanger at this time. As you can see, it is in a perfect spot for cooling. I just hope there is not any problem with air being trapped in the HE due to it being slightly higher than the intercooler. I am thinking the location of the I/C fluid tank will provide additional cooling to the fluid. The flow is as follows: I/C out (hot) - pump - HE - tank - I/C in (cold).

With the intercooler plumbing, A/C lines, wire harness and all the other crap on the hot side of the engine compartment, this is the best I can do in cleaning it up thus far. I still need to fabricate a cold air box. I will be adding the heat shield to the I/C cold water feed line so it will extend into the CAB once completed. BTW - those clamps I am using to attach the lines to the fender are Adell clamps used on the UH-1H Huey. We have a surplus
