Looking to get some ideas about where/how to vent air from the front oil cooler for my track car. I would prefer not to vent through the hood since I want to do some vintage racing and try to keep the car close in appearance to the /6 GT's of the day. Show some pics if you would. Thanks.

Mike...are you going to use a stock fuel tank or a trunk mounted fuel cell??? If you're going to use the stock tank/location you could get the "GT" shroud...but as you can see in my pic, using a cell, mine is a 12 gal, you don't have much room around the cooler. Mine is enclosed with a two speed fan. The outlet hose is routed out under the car behind the steering rack. Just driving the air flow through the cooler/fan works fine. But on the track I use the fan to help cool when the temp. gets to about 220......

Speaking of the GT shroud, is there any concern regarding lift at high speeds on the track? My engine is a 2.2l six, not quite stock, but almost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . I was thinking of some type of venting through the front wheelwell. |

Some of the early GT cars did just that, the cooler is simply mounted under the bumper. If you run a custom "lip", you can even divert any warm air off to the sides and prevent it from getting under the car. No cutting the trunk and no additional warm air under the car ...
