I could I guess but the only place I could put them is in the floor of the spare tire well. The holes in the tail panel are still there so the trunk does have some ventilation.

The package tray and the trunk wall have to be sealed for safety reasons. A cooler that large is just a heat sink really. The transmission doesn't shift while we are racing so they don't get that hot really. The heat will escape, remember there isn't any weather stripping on that trunk and all the plugs are out of the floor.

Plus, it's not like it's going to be in a 2 hour NASCAR race.
30 minutes tops.
The car will never leave first gear the only shifting the trans does is when it's in the pits going from 1st to reverse and back again.

If your only using 1st and reverse...can you remove the rest of the gears for weight savings....:dance:..........

Hey I like that thinking!
Finished the wiring completely today!
Welded a bolt to the roll cage base to give me a ground point and I welded another one to the frame rail under the hood.
Main battery cable mounted and hooked up!
Dashboard installed and hooked up!
Tail lights mounted, wired and every circuit tested hot and everything is working 100%.

Just running lights, they come on with ignition and stay on all the time as the track can get really dusty and the lights help a bit.
Quite a few tracks around here require them. Even the big track in Minot N.D.

I enjoy wiring from scratch. It's trying to repair shredded, rotted old wiring I hate.
It's a race car so I only need Ignition, Start and Alternator.
Got the mounts stripped, welded and ready for paint last night. Just about to go out again for the day.
Both of our other cars leak through the speedo gear housing and mine did too from that little seal around the cable drive.
So I fixed that issue with a brass pipe plug and some JB Weld epoxy.

Knowing your exact speed isn't necessary, as long as you're going just a leeeeetttllle faster than everyone else.

The bottom end of the engine is done as well as the oil pan.
Running a Milodon one piece gasket I had to fill in the front corners of the pan with some pieces of 1/4" steel.
Made up some made some baffles in the pan.
I had found that the screen in the pickup was pushed up exposing the hole in the center of the pick up screen, so to make life easier I removed the outer cover, fixed the screen and soldered a dime to the hole. I'm not expecting the screen to clog anyways so the hole is irrelevant.
Slight modification to this 318 windage tray to make it fit the 360.
So far so good!
