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) |

I had the RX-7 cooler - they were so cheap from our local pic a part (like 10.00). However, after researching within this group, it seemed like it would take quite a bit of cutting and rewelding to get the cooler to work (removing the built in t-stat). The cost to have this work done and then have the cooler cleaned was getting close to the cost of other options.
I gave away the ones I had several years ago because of this. |
