Title: super chiller install
Post by: Getr wet on December 29, 2013, 11:51:04 AM

I have a 454 with a 144 B & M blower with no chiller. I was thinking on putting a super chiller on it but can you run this without a sea stainner and just have a external pick up and dump. Thank in advance..

Thank for the advice. So I can use those type of strainers, that would be cool because the bullet ones are expensive. Right now it is on my wish list for a chiller. I just rebuilt my motor and just waiting for Jan at Lighting headers to finish my pipes. Thanks again..

IMHO the 144 blower does not generate enough heat/pressure to necessitate a chiller, it looks to me like it would be wayyyy more work than it would realistically be worth in the end.

I would rather see you cool the engine bay with some water coils...

Cool boat BTW.   8)

I bought that strainer for mine but on amazon, it was a lot cheaper then on graingers if you really want to pinch it, but just be careful when you tighten your fittings that you don't crack it, I painted mine :-)
