    I’ve been eyeballing these same side ICs. If I didn’t have a snorkel I’d tuck it in the fender well. Not like it needs air.

    @Jon64l How are y’all gonna do the reservoir? Any external cooler?

    I like that Ic, would be nice to have short charge pipes but these arnt bad. Mine are longer and not a issue. He has a pump/resivour in mind, didnt tell me which one. It will be behind driver headlight though. Yes there will be a cooler in front, he will bring me the brackets and other small stuff to weld once he mocks that stuff up. Truck is going home today, I need the space back and want to workon my own rig for a change.

    So just running a coolant mix from overflow? Seems too practical. I was tossing around the idea of putting a small oil cooler rad in the hole by the battery, 1st gen, and then having an electric blower outside the firewall pushing in through the small rad. Wire up so when trucks running fan is pushing. Shouldn’t be too hard to box in with some 3M sticky foam.
