Here's an interesting cooler set up, done on a 3.0 245hp engine running in cali heat with no issues. Done for an original /6 that the owner didn't want cut up for a front cooler.
What do you guys think?

BTW before you totally knock it it was done by Henry Schmidt at Supertec, so the builder does have some credibility.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Henry,
Good to see you here! I l like the install. For those of you that don't know Henry, he is a highly respected member on the bird board, and is a top-notch P-car mechanic. He does an oil-pump modification for sixes that is the schnitz. I just put one of his modded pumps in my 2.7RS build. Let's all hope he hangs out here more... There's tons of info in that brain, especially for us six guys...

Cool, I may need to find out the specifics of this mod. I'm just starting to accumulate parts for my 6 conversion.
