one thing to note:

with the car running (kooks headers, green cats, factory catback) idling in normal mode, you cannot hear this pump. it is rated for constant duty. it is brass helical gears, and flows 2.3 gpm.
What did the pump run you?

iirc it was 3 bills.

everything, including the pump , and down to every last push pin and fitting ran me 823.47.

i'm not going to say that the project is for everyone. it took me a fair amount of time , just staring at the car taken apart to settle on how i did it.

priming the rad, lines and pump is also a fair amount of fun. :D

Looks awesome! Do yo have a full parts list that you would be willing to share?

Well, Finally finished up my trans cooler. It's temporary until I pull the trigget on a track pack trans. I used as much of the factory parts as I could, unmodified, to facilitate re-using them when i switch to the trans. I installed the switch in an easy to replace interior panel. I'm using the rbracing medium pump. I used a wiring kit from superbrightleds.com I made a bracket out of thick aluminum for the pump and used pre-existing holes in the body to mount it.

I'm pleased with the outcome.












I made sure that my leg comes no where near where the switch is in the driving position. I'll mount the switch for the differential cooler right next to it.

To secure the 8AN lines to the factory radiator part, I used gates heat activated compression clamps, then used hose clamps over top of them as a safety measure. I put heat shield on the lines where they come close to the motor and headers/exhaust.

I'm going to leave the trans scoop for now, but will most likely remove it so that i can reinstall my gtrac brace.

Dont mind the orange masking tape. Thats me ensuring that the double sided tape for the californa pony cars splash guards sets properly. The JLT rock blockers werent catching everything.

the pump should catch adequate airflow from the vents in the fender liner and the vacuum effect that the fender vents create.

Has anyone talked to Shelby American lately? Have they given up on the project?
I spoke to them this past week. They told me that they are focusing their efforts on the new Super Snake. Not enough gt350 tech packs for them to work on it now. Maybe they revisit it at a later date.

I'll receive my trans cooler and pump this week and start working on brackets and hoses. Electrical is already done, I should have the transmission cooler in within the next 2 weeks. My differential cooler is now complete and works great.

I still can't figure why Ford didn't make it clear that only the track pack has all the coolers. The 13/14 GT500 had the SVT performance option and also the track pack option. Only the track pack had all three coolers. It seems like most if not all owners knew that. Sorry for beating an old horse. 150 pages later and it still goes on.

It wasn't that they didn't make it known which packs had coolers. What Ford didn't make clear was the impact on the car that not having coolers would cause.

Does anyone know if GM helped the owners of the C7 Z06 Heat soak fiasco ?
