318 heat exchanger Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: Repairs and Maintenance Forum Name: Engine Repair Forum Discription: Engine problems and solutions URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=235 Printed Date: November-24-2024 at 1:02am Topic: 318 heat exchanger Posted By: boatnut Subject: 318 heat exchanger Date Posted: March-18-2004 at 7:57pm I want to add a heat exchanger to my 318 . Can anyone send pictures or help me figure flow pattern etc? Thanks Replies: Posted By: Rick Date Posted: March-19-2004 at 1:15am What is it for? You have one for the tranny already. If you need another I might just order another tranny exchanger and hang it on the down side of the Tranny exchanger.Don't put it before as the tranny needs water directly from the pump as it puts out alot of heat. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=250&yrstart=1996&yrend=2000%20" rel="nofollow - 2000 Ski Posted By: boatnut Date Posted: March-19-2004 at 9:40am It's for the engine. I don't want salt water in my engine. Posted By: woodyelc Date Posted: March-19-2004 at 2:42pm what you are needing is a closed cooling system. chrysler had stopped building motors some time ago. i don't know where you could find a new one. i'll try to check with some old contacts and see if there is anything around. ------------- woodyelc Posted By: Rick Date Posted: March-19-2004 at 2:54pm I would try Blue Ridge Marine in Washington 800 621-2215 Sak for Paul He had alot of older 318 parts laying around. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=250&yrstart=1996&yrend=2000%20" rel="nofollow - 2000 Ski Posted By: woodyelc Date Posted: March-19-2004 at 3:03pm just talked to chrysler dealer was told nothing new from chrysler. ------------- woodyelc Posted By: boatnut Date Posted: March-20-2004 at 10:41am I know where to buy the heat exchanger itsself. I would love to know where it's located in other boats and see a picture.I was hoping someone else had made this conversion and could give some Quick tips.I think that I will have to add another water pump to the engine. The parts aren't the problem , it's the direction of flow and how to stuff it all into the boat.Thanks. Posted By: tryan Date Posted: March-20-2004 at 1:24pm you should research your project. cooling is dependant on flow rates and the size of the exchanger. look at the mercruiser and offshore forums for routing diagrams. your raw water pump will pump the salty brine through the exchanger and then out the risers (and manifolds if you plumb it that way). your engine recirculating pump will handle the chore of pumping the coolant through the exchanger. your engine will run hotter with the conversion ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=146&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - promo http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=192&yrstart=1925&yrend=1970 -    #2 Posted By: Rick Date Posted: March-21-2004 at 2:24am I have a schematic of the freshwater cooling from my 66 316M manual No pictures of the setup though sorry i am emailing them to Jeff to add to the refernece link ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=250&yrstart=1996&yrend=2000%20" rel="nofollow - 2000 Ski
