You have pics of the sandwich plate? Is it a thermostatic plate also?

you could cut the bulged ends of the tube off of the cooler and flare it for a jic connector and run an lines to the cooler core instead of clamping the hose on eliminating the possible blow out and clamps tearing through the line.

I dont have pics, but yes, it IS of Thermostatic design.

About $100 thus far. If you buy this kit from Amazon you might spend less at ~$85. The reason mine was $100 was because I bought it from my local Napa (who usually sells for $139 but they price matched Summit). I prefered local sale in case I was to return the product. You might need ~$3 worth of better host clamps to get you started, and you also need a $5 oil filter that fits correctly.

That... is a GREAT idea. I'll put that one on my list!

But you stated that you wanted to see stages of these kits (which they have) in case you wanted to go bigger later. You can go bigger now with no issues and not have to purchase another later.

Yes, Hayden does have stages of these kits. This one is their 'light' duty kit, and on the manual/box it says good for a Chevy v8 engine. -Ha! The larger kits are more expensive to the tune of about $200 or more. This page has the kits available from Hayden. Look at the last three on this page:

Its been about a week since installing this kit, and all is well. I've checked my hose/connections about 6 times since installation and everything look great.

I had felt a little iffy about the screw-style hose clamps, so I went ahead and place and order for some clamps made by a company called Mikalor from Amazon.com; the only T-Bolt clamps I could find online which would work with the kit's included hose.

Amazon.com: Mikalor 301902-0 3/4-13/16" 19-21mm Ss/Stl T-Bolt Hose Clamp: Industrial & Scientific

So if you are going to buy this kit, you probably should think about snagging 4 of these T-Bolt clamps up as well for added hose security.
