<< This is one of the finest installation jobs I have seen so
 far. It has not flown yet but it is getting close. Tom is using
 a Ross drive with the short Subaru bell housing. This gave him
 more room behind the engine for the radiator. The turbo is huge
 and mounted high for good oil drain back. No intercooler installed
 yet. Tom will try it first without one but could add one later.

Very nice.....Look... a double pass radiator.

Chuck Dunlaps is double pass too. Apparently the increased restriction
of double pass rads don't appear to be a problem. My rad, on order
from Ron Davis, is also double pass. If nothing else it cleans up
the rad plumbing by getting the inlet and outlet on the same side.
I still think they can be improved by thermally isolating input
and output such as the drawing below. This would minimize heat
transfer from the hot input to the supposed to be cooler output.
