YesDoes the TRX lower radiator hose come out on the other side?
Whats the best timing chain cover to use with the conversion? I only want to run alternator as running electric power steering pump etc
5.7 90? Don't know that I've ever seen one.. I've seen oil coolers but not the 90 on anything other than the 6.2The reason I asked is because the regular 90 degree adapter for the 5.7 uses a water pump with a PS fitting and best I can tell nothing special on the lower radiator hose. Looks like you have it figured out so no big deal.
Just stick with the car cover.. Truck intakes limit what intake you can run.Whats the best timing chain cover to use with the conversion? I only want to run alternator as running electric power steering pump etc
With the lower hose when i run retrofit items sometimes you can get lucky with the hose shape required, i bend stiff wire to the shape i need then go to a

Already know... Been down this path with my A100. What a blast to drivewait until you drive it for a while, you will say why didn't I do this a long time ago.
Never knew.. I've had several Rams and never seen one. I thought "now damn it, I know my 2020 isn't like that is it?" Had to go look... Nope
It's about the same price.. Few bucks higher than the TRX. But like you said.. The fittings are there. Like I'll ever use them lol
It's been a mix and match of things. The factory evap fittings are hiding behind the intake. I yweeked them a bit to try to get around everything. Ordered a bunch of fittings from coldhose this week.. So we'll see how it all goes.How much of a pain was it to figure out the AC to work with the original system? Was wondering what the shopping list is to get it to work, is it a kit or did you have to mix and match?
Btw.. Just bought it last June (2023) and swore to my wife that it was "just gonna be a driver". I tried to resist and just enjoy the little 318.. I really did. I rebuilt the top end on the 318 with a little cam, upgraded the AC system, added EFI etc. I think my wife and I both knew what was gonna happen.. I'm a liarwait until you drive it for a while, you will say why didn't I do this a long time ago.
I'm the same way. I spend way too much time thinking about my car projects - been like that my entire life. My goal is to always make things look like thought went into and not just thrown together. It's a disease. It's way better than the guys that memorize sports stats and study players just to place sports bets. At least I have something tangible when I'm done.Has anyone else stopped to realize just how mentally taxing this can all be? When I'm project mode, I find myself beyond tired through the week. I limit myself to actually only working on the car over the weekends.. but the OCD/ADHD are pretty much in control throughout the week. I made coffee the other morning and didn't put the pot in place because my brain was elsewhere (wiring).. came back to a countertop full of coffee.
Maybe I'm just getting old.
Well that explains why this mornings coffee tasted like ***I've also forgot to put the grounds in and I'm confused as to why I have hot water and not coffee...lol
