Anyone seen an oil cooler set up put in the front fender forward of the wheel alla 911 Carrera style? Thinking of this for my 2.7 conversion on a narrow body. Pics would be really nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

the fan would help with existing wheel well air...
but a 911 has removeable front fenders and the turn signals allow air to pass into the fender well there is a lot more through air on a 911 still a fan and front cooler would help, but I doubt it would be more effective than a rear cooler it would be more complicated and expensive (bad) but also move a tiny bit of weight forward (good) brant |

What difference can that possibly make? They don't move off clearing a path for the air. Or do they? As for the turn signals, they're solid plastic lenses, making the passage of air problematic. Early cars had small horn grilles, but few early cars had front coolers. As for the fans, they didn't appear until the late '80s. The Cap'n |
