oil cooler Options

[kylefisk]

I'm trying to set up an oil cooler on a 77 2.7 going in my 914. where is the best place to find fittings, thermastat, tanks, coolers, etc. i figure barbed fittings should work, at least until I can afford to sink money into AN fittings and lines, but I'm having a hard time finding parts that will work and be cheap. how much of a cooler do I need. I have a B&M 70266 in the shop somewhere with a 2100 cfm fan that will fit it. my biggest problem is finding a fitting that goes from the engine (20mm x 1.5) to a 3/8 barb. any ideas? thanks

Don't go cheap on your oil cooling system, its the heart of your engine.

Try racer parts wholesale, they sell aeroquip fittings and hose at good prices. If not try to find deals here and there on ebay.

They also have the metric to AN fittings.

That 20mm to AN-12/AN-16 (can't recall the size) fitting is available, just do a search.

Cheers!
