I'd initially bought the oil cooler pictured on the left. Upon attempting to mount it, I realized there was NOTHING to mount it with. I do NOT prefer using the "plastic ties" that came with it, so I returned it and purchased the oil cooler on the right that I can RIGID mount.
The 140-watt soldering iron is fine for interior, sensor,
and ECM wiring, but something a LITTLE stronger is needed for heavy gauge
Starting/Charging system wiring. This is a 260-watt unit
A home for the relays has been found. They've been
mounted behind the passenger side strut tower.
I've run heavy gauge wire directly off the alternator
to feed high power accessories, like cooling fans, headlamps, and foglamps.
This wiring harness connects the Cadillac ECM and engine
to the X-11's old bulkhead wiring harness, located behind the driver's
side strut tower
The original X-11 heater core outlet is still in the
perfect position for the 4.9L V8
The power distribution wiring has been connected to the
starter and X-11 bulkhead connector
This is the bulkhead connector located behind the driver's
side strut tower. The left portion supplies power to the interior, fuses,
and starting system. The right portion controls horn, headlights,
park lights, and all other forward mounted accessories
This adapter steps down the OVERLY HUGE Cadillac 1/2" oil cooler lines to 5/8" to run into the oil cooler
This special high temperature hose (rated at 302-degrees @ 300psi) will carry the engine oil to the adapters
Adapter mated to oil hose
These are the lines that run to the oil cooler. I've also put 3/4" rubber hose OVER the oil cooler lines to ensure nothing will rub thru the lines
The oil cooler lines have been attached to the engine and routed to the cooler
With the grille re-installed, the oil cooler lines give a "STOCK" appearance
The oil cooler is installed on the passenger side, while the PUSHER fan is installed on the driver's side
I've used a VERY large PUSHER fan, as I was not able to use a large PULLER.
