i know we've been through this before, but ...
i'm now actively looking to assemble a front mounted oil-cooler. what has worked for you? brand? size? thermostat? line-size? right now, the engine is a warmed up 2056. the car will definately see some track-time during '05. also, keep in mind that i still plan on putting in a /6 one of these days, either 3.2 or 3.6. so, i would like to (at least) have the lines the proper size for that already. what kind of thermostat do you guys run? what brand cooler? what size oil-lines? what route? ( i would prefer to retain heat, if possible) don't want to do the under the rocker panel thing. so i think i'm kinda stuck routing through the cabin. any objections? how about higher volume oil-pumps? pickup points? return? i have a oil-filter location sandwich adapter. good or bad? whatch'ya'all think?

Hi Andy,
On my new car with the 3.6, we're going run the large cooler Brad suggested and a -20 line. The -20 thinking is highly recommended for a 3.6 by Jerry Woods, whose been prepping my engine for the new car. It's probably overkill for the 3.2 and smaller motors....but if you decide to go bigger or run alot of track events maybe it's worth it while you're in there. Just a thought. I'll be talking with Rich Walton next week scheduling the dry fit of my drivetrain. I'm going to deliver the roller to them sometime the beginning of Feb to run all the plumbing and fit in the power steering. Then we'll pull everthing off and have Scott Yeaman and Brad finish the car prep and Sheridan body kit. I saw the coolers for the 3.6. They are pretty big! Bill P. |
