Thanks for the info Brian. I had been specing out something a bit out of the ordinary with Mocal, but this fits my needs perfectly as I want to use the spot in my pig nose for an oil cooler now. Lindsey intercooler is gone for the NA Swap (obviously) and because im working on a new setup for the next turbo motor.

Brian, what was you reason for welding on a different port rather than just using the stock ones?

Was going to need a 120 degree bend fitting then a sharp turn with the hose to go around the corner, thus putting lots of strain on it. With the welded on fitting, its two 90 degree fittings and the hose stays nice and slack. And youd have to use a funky adaptor I think, which adds to the height as well.
