OK, so my car has a 3.0 with Webers. It has what to me appears to be a rather unusual oil cooling system:
 Has anyone ever seen something like this? I have a thermostat installed beck near the engine and then this copper pipe running to the front along the passenger side long and looping back to the engine. I guess it worked. Thanks. |

It is copper all the way back to the engine. I plan to drive it to see how it works.

Is there any rubber hose between the engine and the copper pipe? If not, it is just a matter of time before they break, due to the engine movement relative to the chassis. If there are rubber lines in there somewhere to absorb the movement, then it will probably be OK at least for a while.
