[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 16111452, member: 20202"] Here is a pic of the original Chicago LDC Cobra cooling mod kit [ATTACH=full]1547067[/ATTACH] What I didn't like on this was it just dumps the driver's side outlet into the factory outlet reducing the output (volume) on both sides in half. I preferred the Even flow kit with 2 independent feeds to the front crossover pipe. Not a big fan of some of the kits that use AN fitting with 90 degree elbows as they are horrible for flow and usually employ smaller than factory hose size restricting flow even more. So I made my own even flow kit by modding the LDC kit and this is what I came up with [ATTACH=full]1547069[/ATTACH] (sorry pic is upside down) The drivers side LDC outlet tube was cut-off flush with the head fitting and re-positioned to exit over the drivers side head. The passenger side was given a dedicated main outlet and a smaller heater core outlet. Both are merged back together on the "Y" fitting before proceeding to the front of the engine. [ATTACH=full]1547092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1547093[/ATTACH] Drivers side outlet hugging the valve cover (have pic of the rear of the engine showing both sides but the files are to big to post, my apologies) I went put a lot of though, time and effort to improve the cooling capacity of this engine and this is how I addressed getting coolant to squirt out both ends to keep the rear head temps in check. Don't tap the freeze plugs adjacent to the intake runners, use the conventional location which is closer to the exhaust ports which is where you want the flow. A tap on the upper freeze plug would largely bypass that section of the water jacket and pull coolant directly from the upper portion of the head gasket coolant passages. [/QUOTE]
