Is an external oil cooler required for a /6 conversion? The Palma Green car needs a bit of work prior to the install, so we have a bit of time. Newly rebuilt 2.7 will be fit with Webers and driven on the street only.
TIA

Our old 73 911T MFI car ran fine on the street but we ran the car in PCA DE events regularly with both of us being instructors, ran hot afters about 3 laps. That was a real pain and since we ran back to back, I had to do something. I fabricated oil lines with a Mocal thermostat and a factory loop cooler in the front fender. It kept it below 220 degrees F with the two of us wringing its neck and that didn’t change when I rebuilt it to 2.4E spec. Some need it, some don’t and it depends on your mission.

I’ve put myself on the list for a set of Ben’s oil lines and yes, it upsets me to punch holes in my factory -6, but that’s it and they will bury me in that car. Anyway, some need it and some don’t. It just seems that all of mine do.
