Turbo 616 powered Astro Van build
oiling almost resolved, i went through a few different remote plates.
This was the first one where I welded some 10-AN fittings to a 1/4 inch steel plate. It was pretty, but it leaked-
Went back in and welded around and around and around, 4 beads. It was ugly and didn't leak, and of course had I stopped to consider what I was doing, I probably wouldnt have warped the plate as bad and made it unusable except for a machinist to cut down.
version 2-
Then I wised up and went with 1/2 inch steel plate, and drilled and tapped the 10-AN fittings instead, which was a lot cleaner-
fits nicely with the transmission plate, im going to be using pushlok hose and fittings for my connections. I was looking for a basic oil cooler I can adapt to the 10-AN, but after reading mach4's thread over on PP where he diesel converts a SL, ill be following what he did and tapping the holes in the stock MB oil cooler I have.
The major hurdle im waiting on still is the power steering line bump fitting ends so I can make custom ones. I do not recommend ordering from "parts dave" for your domestic vehicle, its been 8 days and hasn't shipped yet.
