[extremedirtlv]

Hey everbody I just installed a 351 in my race truck and relocated the radiator to the rear. Im in the works of plumbing the cooling system but cant find figure out a good way to run the cooling lines (under the truck, thru the cab? etc.) Its a tight fight already with the 351 in it. Does anybody have any info or pics of how they did it on their trucks? My truck is a 91 ranger with a 351 lightning motor, e4od trans any info would be GREAT. Thanks in advance

I will post some pictures of mine on Monday.I ran it thru the cab on the floor.It works really well with only 2 4" inch hoses.

Sounds good. Is yours on a race truck or street legal truck? I appreciate your help.

[Ziggy]

Its on a race truck but you could still be street legal with the set up.

do not use hose in the cab,steam burns are really bad.be sure to put in a bleeder port(s) and a drain plug where needed.

[Ziggy]

It will only burn in the cab if you build it wrong.There are lots of ways to build a safe in cab system.
You will need bleeder ports at the highest points in the system to let the air out.

Looks good. Thanks for the pics, they will help out alot.

[DSRacing]

Here is the system.

Pictures speak a thousand words, obviously you were talking about using 4" long sections of hose. Most people including myself assumed from your posts you were using 4" diameter hose.:D

I am such a dummy,sorry.That measurement never crossed my mind.
A 4" diameter would be something.:D

Who makes your radiator? What size fans are you running? Daul or single fans?

Its a Ron Davis.
Dual 16"inch that push 3500 cfi.
Make sure you get the deeper shroud on the fans

[extremedirtlv]

Does it run cool? hows the temps in sand washes or deep silt?

[Ziggy]

I race it on a 2 mile off road track.It runs at 200-210 and it is pushed hard.

No additional in line water pumps??? Just a stock water pump does the trick???
