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) |

Flow to the cooler will occur as it is plumbed into the scavenge line of the six.
At the cooler, cold oil will just make a U-turn and head back to the oil tank. At the cooler with hot oil, the cooler thermostat will plug the bypass and direct oil thru the cooler body. Also, on a six, the onboard cooler is by-passed with the on-board thermostat. No oil is cooled until the thermostat opens. |
