I always wondered why on earth speedwell put their cooler there too - plus if you work it out the original cool inside the fanhousing probably has more surface area than that crappy piece of kit   |

The cooler it self wasent too bad, worked pretty well, but just a bad place to mount them. The things we did back them seemed ok, but now looking back, what the f---- were they thinging about Even on my dads old class 1 car, that is how the cooler was mounted. Even though we never lost a motor from it, it looks like we should have. |

Reevco used a more flat type cooler, as like a auto trans type that mounted out side of the car

At least the Speedwell kit used a proper cooler, not that "plate" POS.

hahaha I forgot about Mick... he came back to work there for a few months, in maybe 1992 or so? I think at one time I had every one of my friends working there. Sheep, Billy, Mike Gillaspie, SODA, plus made new friends thru that place. Like Big Frank and Javier, Steve (lobo) C., Al (RIP), Steve the Cop |

Good Old Mick - He let me drive his 65 GTO when the trans in my Firebird blew up Jerome in the back eating Oreo cookies and building engines - Had to ask really nice to get one. |
