I'm looking to add a second oil cooler at the back of the car/engine compartment...has anyone else mounted coolers in the back? If so, please post pictures and results. This is for engine oil but I'll have to plumb a cooler for the trans too - so either way. I'd prefer NOT to run lines to the front if I can get around that - somebody might confuse me with a conformist. Thanks!

PS: Of interest is how you routed air to the coolers too...

My temps hit 240 once and I didn't try to push it any further before I had an external oil cooler. Now it never touches 210.

And slight note as the cooler is not braced against the muffler bracket anymore - I changed that around.

Thanks! That is nice to see and hear. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Brant - The fan is a factory Setrab shroud unit (puller). My problem is the intake air for it is not shrouded, nor in any type of airflow. I'm going to build a topside shroud for the big cooler and duct it from airflow from under the chassis (from around the bellhousing). LS Motors are notorious for running insane oil temps but that doesn't mean its good for the motor - it is not.

With a little patience and time anything can be figured out but I've got a little more going on in the rear than most. A little higher hurdle, so to speak. Thanks for the ideas and insight!

Merry Christmas all!

Tony
