Look at a front GT-style cooler and thermostat and be done with it. I have that set-up in my car and it never gets hot. No fans to worry about. Stays around 190-210 degrees depending upon weather. Yes, it is more money up front - but keeping your engine cool is what it is all about for longevity.

Mine runs a bit warmer on the race track with a cammed 3.2, street driving is fine. I talked to a race engine builder and he recommended another brand that builds custom coolers. I will see if I can look it up. |

I also have the GT hard lines that run down the driver's long as well as the stock 914-6 engine oil cooler. |
