Featuring a 1-row 31mm aluminum core with CSF's exclusive B-Tube Technology, the 8365 improves heat transfer by approximately 15 percent over conventional oval welded tubes. With approximately 32 percent more cooling tubes and fins than the OEM unit and 6.5mm multi-louvered fins, this heat exchanger delivers a significant reduction in intake air temperatures under boost without restricting airflow to the radiator behind it. The unit mounts in the factory supercharger heat exchanger location with no modifications or cutting required and is fully compatible with both the OEM Ford GT radiator and the CSF 7245 High-Performance Radiator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-row 31mm all-aluminum core with CSF exclusive B-Tube Technology for 15 percent greater heat transfer than standard oval tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 32 percent more cooling tubes and fins than the OEM Ford GT supercharger heat exchanger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.5mm multi-louvered fins maximize airflow through the core while preserving flow to the radiator positioned behind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounts in the factory supercharger heat exchanger location with no modifications, cutting, or fabrication required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with the OEM Ford GT radiator and the CSF 7245 High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 percent all-aluminum construction for lightweight durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurpose-built for the 2005-2006 Ford GT 5.4L supercharged V8 platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThis Part Fits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTrim\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2005-2006\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8365\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-row 31mm aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCore Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCSF exclusive B-Tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFin Height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5mm multi-louvered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCooling Tubes vs OEM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 32 percent more\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect OEM replacement, no modifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupercharger heat exchanger (intercooler)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProposition 65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e710353083659\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x CSF 8365 High-Performance All-Aluminum Heat Exchanger for 2005-2006 Ford GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does this heat exchanger replace on the Ford GT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8365 replaces the factory supercharger heat exchanger on the 2005-2006 Ford GT. The Ford GT uses a water-to-air intercooler system where the heat exchanger sits in the front of the vehicle and cools the water circuit that removes heat from the supercharged intake charge. It installs in the same factory location as the OEM unit with no modifications required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the B-Tube Technology improve performance on this heat exchanger?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B-Tube design creates internal turbulence inside each cooling tube, increasing the contact between the water and the tube wall and improving heat transfer by approximately 15 percent over standard oval welded tubes at the same flow rate. Combined with 32 percent more cooling tubes and fins than the OEM heat exchanger, it removes more heat per unit of time compared to the factory part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill installing this heat exchanger reduce intake air temperatures in the Ford GT?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 8365 improves the cooling capacity of the water-to-air intercooler circuit, which means the water entering the supercharger charge cooler is colder. This directly lowers the intake air temperature leaving the supercharger, supporting more consistent power delivery under sustained boost on the track or during back-to-back accelerations on the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan this heat exchanger be used with the OEM Ford GT radiator?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It mounts in the factory heat exchanger location and is fully compatible with the OEM radiator. For a complete cooling system upgrade, it can also be paired with the CSF 7245 High-Performance All-Aluminum Radiator, which occupies the adjacent factory mounting location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this heat exchanger restrict airflow to the radiator behind it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 6.5mm multi-louvered fins used in the 8365 are specifically designed to maximize heat rejection while maintaining a clean airflow path to the radiator mounted behind the heat exchanger. CSF engineered the fin geometry to balance high surface area contact with low pressure drop across the core face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a bolt-on installation with no modifications?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is a direct-fit replacement designed to use the factory Ford GT heat exchanger mounting points and coolant line connections. No cutting, drilling, or fabrication is required. It is compatible with the OEM coolant hoses and mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the warranty on this heat exchanger?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCSF provides a manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Confirm current warranty terms with CSF or your authorized retailer before purchase, particularly for any conditions that may apply to track or competition use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this heat exchanger still in production or is it a special order item?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is listed as a regularly stocked product.
