Anybody know where to get the Chicago LDC cooling mod for our beloved 4v's? Every one I've found is on back order and my engine is almost ready to go back in. Your help is greatly appreciated!

D'Agostino Racing is the only place to get that cooling mod. Derek should have them in stock.

01COBRA2668, I posted this same thing in the thread you started in the New Edge section. However, in the hope that someday, somebody, with actual data about this part will poke around in these threads and see my justified skepticism, I'll repost it.
Actual data is much more valuable than speculation. The typical destruction of cylinder #7 and #8 is proven. The HCM's ability to reduce or eliminate this destruction is not. I don't know why this argument continues.
Anytime an aftermarket component that deals with horsepower or g forces is released, its performance is tested and retested by the community, through a variety of applications, to prove its worth. The HCM seems to slip through the cracks of this valuable gauntlet of accountability, jumps right onto every modular motor wish list, and out of your wallet. Weird.
If data exists that proves the worth of this mod, and my skepticism is incorrect, I would actually be happy.

My opinion about the HCM is...it's a band aid for a band aid. Terminator engines can blow up because of tight PTW (band aid for reducing piston slap from forged internals, I believe), speed and boost hungry individuals, and heat.
The lack of facts is not an opinion, it's a fact. Unless of course it isn't a fact, and I just haven't seen the facts.

Mu22stang-
I understand your opinion but I can't see spending another svgs acct worth of money if I could save it with $200! I also understand that currently there is no effective removal of the coolant in this head like there is in the passanger side and therfore, I would like to try and even it out. You have car insurance dont you? You know YOU may never cause an accident but just in case another ass clown does you need to protect your ride...right? JUST IN CASE is better than I should have done this!!!

Do you want to run that one by us again? You still don't seem to understand that you're simply stating your opinion, ....... not facts. Share with us what makes you a expert.
An expert on what? An expert on revealing the completely blatant fact that NOBODY has tested the effects of a HCM?
Does it reduce the temperature of the cylinder head in the back 4"? 6"? 8" By how many degrees? Does it reduce actual cylinder temperatures? EGT's? What's the flow rate of coolant through the HCM? Can the flow of heat out of the cylinder head via the HCM outrun the flow of heat into the cylinder head from a high revving engine?
These are questions, not opinions, which have no answer.

So since you do not have the answer you want, you've formed a opinion without any testing.
For me it's simple peace of mind. To each there own. Now why not go and find the answers to your questions? The OP asked where to buy the LDC cooling mod. Did you answer that question? The answer is No!

Ya know you remind me what it's like having a conversation with a child. Now tell me how anything you've posted in this thread answered the OP's question?
If you've ever taken the heads off a 4V with some miles on it, it is plainly obvious that the driver's side head runs hotter than the pass. side.
How many degrees?
I guess we'll see.
I do know what you're saying about the testing, though. I was alarmed when I saw it so I'm making my own kit I'm not paying what they want for that. I will be tapping the port at the top rear of the head, and bushing it down to a 90 and a barb fitting, which will connect to a T in the upper radiator hose.
