How hot does your longitutinal get, considering running oil lines inside long for a six Options

Hot warm or nothing?

I ran my -12AN lines through the passenger-side heater tube. that gave me two options for heat not related to that tube.

1. T-off a smaller, full-flow oil cooler into a fan box upstream of the main cooler in the front trunk... or do what I did

2. Box off a little of my main cooler and route fan-assisted hoses back into the factory heat pickups and use the stock heat/defrost controls.

I only do this in the fall. When I don't need the defrost/heat any longer, I just remove the entire system and store it until the weather gets cold again. Several special-case things are important here.

This works for me because my 3.6L engine doesn't have the factory oil cooler behind cylinder #6 like earlier engines, and relies completely on external cooling. I have both a main cooler and a smaller cooler in the same liquid circuit as the earlier factory cooler (sandwich adapter). BTU's are ejected at the rear of the car.

I have a separate switch to regulate the marine bilge heater fan that pushes heat into the standard inlets all of you use. It's a switch off of the 914 AC unit, but that's just because I haven't installed the pulse-width speed controller yet. That'll more elegant but other stuff is more important right now.
