At the rear ???<br /><br />That's Great.....<br />The manifolds I have laying around here, Don't...<br /><br />It that case,<br />Go For It...!!!!

bondo, the plugs on my manifold are on the side. I think there is more than one, I would use the one closest to the back. Or would it be better to put on an end cap with the nipple?

Re: hey bondo, another FWC question (updated, got an exchanger)

I'm thinking a Flow that Absolutely covers All of the area to be cooled, would be better,+ more efficent......<br />Measure your rear block-off plate......<br />If I've got the right 1 laying around, I'll give it to you....<br />I know it'll be Easier... Those plugs will come out Hard.....<br />You'll Still have to remove atleast 1 of them from the Riser....

Re: hey bondo, another FWC question (updated, got an exchanger)

I agree with you regarding the flow. I will measure the end cap and let you know the deminsions.......thanks for the offer. I am also going to try and find one, I like that idea better, better flow!

Ya,+ while you're there, Checkout Which Plug you need to install a nipple in, on the Riser, to get rid of the Raw Water.......<br />It looks like you've got Plenty of room...... <br />You Might be able to mount the H/E along-side the exhaust manifold......<br /><br /> "The exchanger I have has a tank and radiator cap." <br />Are you saying the rad.cap Is mounted to the main H/E tank ????<br />Or, the rad.cap has it's Own tank ?????

Re: hey bondo, another FWC question (updated, got an exchanger)

The rad-cap is on a tank attached to the top of the H/E. I am going to mount the H/E on the other side in order to get the height required. I am thinking of "teeing-in" the thermostat bypass to the manifold so there is some flow through the manifold prior to the thermo opening. Or can i ignore the bypass? This would mean that there wouldn't be much of a flow through the manifold until the thermo opens...what do you think?<br /><br />Now let's talk about hoses/fittings.....should I start another post? This one is getting kinda long........

I think I'd leave the by-pass right where it Is........<br />Push All of the by-passed water thru the manifold, then from your New fitting on the back of the manifold, to the Hot-side of the H/E....<br />No Tees.....<br />Even Before the T-stat Opens, the manifold needs Whatever flow is going by..... Most T-stats don't open all at once.... And, If you Tee it, How would It know which way,+ When to go Where.....<br /><br />

Now let's talk about hoses/fittings.....should I start another post? This one is getting kinda long........

Your Call...... Doesn't Matter At All....
