Now that my engine is back together with higher compression I need to consider some additional cooling.
In 80-90 degrees ambient temps, at 3800rpm highway, it runs 200-210-215. So next summer in mid to high 90's, it's going to need some help. I really don't want to install a cooler up front. But are there any alternatives? Rear fender well? Rear trunk with cutout? Engine bay? Any specifics or brand models would be most helpful. Pics? |

Yes, under the rear trunk to the passenger side of the tranny. With about 1" of space between the cooler and the trunk floor. The fan is designed to be reversible, so it can be used either to push air through the cooler or pull air through the cooler.
Under the rear trunk isn't the best place for a cooler since there is no source of cool air. So the air used to cool the oil will be fairly warm. But the cooler is fairly big and with the fan I expect it will be more than adequate to knock 20-30 degrees off your oil temps. Demick |
