    To answer your questions:

    We ran blowback bars to the bellhousing just as you would in a clutch car.

    We ran a -6 line from the trans to the puke tank in the rear of the car.

    Consult the Lencodrive manual for wiring.

    The oil does get hot. Some have rigged up quick disconnects on the cooler outlets to a pump that circulates the oil through an external cooler in the pit. We ran without a cooler. If you want to get rid of the heat fast, undo the trans blanket and turn the motor over with the starter to circulate fluid out of the converter.

    What to look out for....that' an open ended question. Email me at will.hanna@insidetopalcohol.com for more info.

    We run a lencodrive and use a blower/air pump from a bounce house or kids inflatable play house ( the yellow upright one ) to cool the converter . You can buy them on ebay for around $100 , then get a shop vac hose kit from Home Depot and adapt it to the air pump with a home made flange . It moves a ton of air and is super quiet . Rotate the engine every few minutes with the big bar on the top pulley and it cools off pretty quick .
