7.3 intercooler vs 6.0 Intercooler
 

Im going to be adding a intercooler to my 97 obs and was wondering what is better?

6.oh is bigger and has plastic ends. 7.3 is smaller and can have either aluminum or plastic ends... IMO, doesn't matter. Find a deal on either and run it.

ok do they fit the same? i have heard its a real hassle to get the thing in place?

It's not bad if you are creative. here are a couple links for ya and a picture of a 7.3 and 6.oh cooler...

Thank you that is very helpful! Will the spyder fit in with no trouble?

you will need a E99 SD spyder.

Ya it should fit no problems. Some have had troubles massaging it around the fuel bowl but a little work and it will get in there...

ok thanks guys

or you can cut the stock intake Y and make it work. but the E99 spyder is easier.

what clutch would hold up to 400 hp?
