Yeah thats what i decided to do on my 87 300D. I have a fattywagon electrotherm inline before the IP. But my last setup was a mistake because i used vinyl hoses and those cant withstand heat very well. So i used transmission cooler lines which can withstand heat better!
Will keep you guys updated on that!
