I'm putting together the needed parts to install a PSD i/c and a crossflow rad on my 90 CTD and I'm wondering the best route to plumb the cold side of the i/c.I could put on an intake elbow that points to the front of the engine and then a few bends down past the injection pump to the i/c.I'd like to use the cooler tubz from Tworline, but turning the tube forward to clear the master cylinder will block one of the intake/grid heater bolts.Is it possible to change the one bolt for a stud, lock it in place then slide the heater and intake tube on top?

To clear the master cylinder all you have to do is flip your intake plate-the plate thats under the grid heater. I just did mine-you will have to fab up some fuel line braces, and either go to an intercooled style throttle bracket or make an extension to use the one you have, I did this, will get pics tomorrow.

Do you still have space between the heater and the fuel lines? Looking at pics of i/c engines the heater sits on the next set of intake bolts which puts it real tight to the fuel lines?
thanks Andrew

You can also get a 2nd Gen intake horn, which angles toward the front. This gives a two-fold advantage- it is bigger (3" instead of 2-1/2), and it smooths flow to the intake. I didnt get real detailed in my measuring in my 91, but I think it could work for you.

ANother option is to flip the intake plate, and get some intercooled lines and clamps.

Ya Ive got clearance between heater and lines, but they are close enough to make it easy to create new brackets. Ill snap some pics tomorrow.

Thanks guys for the input and options .Randy I searched back and found a pic of your intake plate and horn, nice polished set up!

My fuel lines will be REAL close to rubbing, so Im gonna take some 1/4" rubber fuel line and slice it to go around the line and zip tie it in place.
