I'd like to compare it to the 2012+ 5.0 Boss Mustang cooler kit I have on my bench for my BRZ oil system cooler project (2 qt accusump install, filter relocate, and cooler).

The Mustang cooler has water inlets that are bent as well as the block mounting flange has a 270 degree lip that protrudes from the mounting flange's surface. The straight inlet/outlet and a flat rear flange would make my life much easier.

Appreciate the help as I can find nothing on the Net that shows the rear of the cooler.

If it will be a better fit for my adapter, and you're not going to use it I'll buy it from you.

Thanks

My cooler flange looks just like the photos posted above. If you want it its yours. I did damage the center bolt thing as I didn't have an allen big enough, I bet you can just reuse yours.

Thanks for the quick come back!

That flange is such a pain. But I might be able to make better use of the straight tube configuration.

I don't have a spare coupler bolt. Just the one that comes with the $140 Boss kit.

I can get another bolt for $12 or so. Normally the bolt comes with the cooler for a total of about $95 shipped for the best on-line Ford price.

My commercial address zip 75088. What do want for the cooler shipped to me?

I can process the order through your website if you tell me how. Or I can just mail you a check to keep costs at a minimum. I'm not in a hurry, as I must finish healing from last week's gut surgery before I bend over a fender in the garage. A couple of weeks.

Pretty impressive these stock manifolds flow over 300hp, still need to go.



The last test fit showed the pan still needed trimming, this is all I can take out of it so have to make it work from here.

With the motor in place its obvious the factory clutch master wont work at all. I made the call to ditch the stock brake setup in favor of a manual non ABS setup.




I made a mockup bracket to mount both the brake and clutch master cylinders. A pair of Tilton master cylinders will do the trick.



With the clutch master now moved over about 5" I had to dissect the pedal box and shorten that 5" to match.

New motor won't let me run a normal strut brace so I came up with these WRC inspired supports.

So much clutter, if it wont work no sense in keeping it around.
