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?

yes, but in order for that to work, you will *need* air to flow under the car. if you don't have any air under the car, no turbulence under the engine, no additional cooling ... the plastic "flaps" that were added on later cars help sucking hot air out from under the engine, but in order for them to work, there has to a some air-flow. running a big-ass front air-dam will not allow any air under the car and your engine temps go up!
