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...

Okay. Here is what I've decided to do...to do what I should have done from the start!

Mount a triple set up a the front of the car. Here is my reasoning: 1) I haven't "short-cutted" (my own word!) anything to this point, (why compromise now?); 2) I have a design that I think will at least guarantee me the lowest possible oil temps - whatever that ends up being; and 3) its only money (and time), so why not?

Now, the only cooler I'll have mounted in the rear of the car will be for the transaxle. I just feel that anything I do in the rear is less than the best I do up front. I'll order the coolers, fittings, hose, etc. and start fabricating in the next week or so. I believe I have a super clean plan that I hope you'll will approve of - time will tell if it meets the cooling demands of Hot-Southern-Track days!

Thanks again for everyone who chimed in - it was instrumental in getting me to this point!

Happy New Year!
