I am curious as to what kind of oil cooler setup is required or recommended
when installing a stock 74-77 2.7 911 engine. Use stock t-stat control valve, stock cooler? Any past experience would be appreciated. |

This question comes up occasionally, and I pay attention when it does because I have similar concerns. I can only provide personal experience:
My original -6 also has a 2.7 engine with only the stock, in-engine cooler. The oil temp has never moved into the uncomfortable range, even with most of the driving done on the hotter, drier side of the mountains from where I live. That's with "spirited" driving and it can get pretty warm over there in the summer. The engine is currently in for a refresh. Previously running unknown spec cams ("Solex" was the closest approximation when inspected.) They provided great bottom-end, but petered out a bit at the top. Now running modern, "modified-S". We'll see if that'll make a difference. - MR |
