I was wondering if an oil cooler like this one would work as a front oil cooler of a 2.7 6 conversion.
What are your thoughts? BTW it's a Behr from an old Mercedes. Attached image(s) |

Anything will work, frankly. Even bare metal tubes--just ask 911SC owners about that. The question is will it work well enough?
A plate-style cooler will be more efficient and reject more heat per area. Not sure about flow restriction. Is it what you need? Could be, but that depends on a whole lot of variables. Like the air temps you expect to see, how much cooling the engine needs, the exact ducting of cool air to it and warmed air away from it, and so on. --DD |
