I finally got around to installing my aux oil cooler. Used a Mocal thermostatic sandwich plate and Derale fan/cooler. Aeroquip blue hose with -8AN push on ends connected it up. Hose runs next to valve cover and zip ties to the wire bales (should make valve adjustments interesting). I removed the heater J tube on the passenger side to route the cooler lines. Since that J tube was just capped anyway, I just removed the J tube and put the cap where the J tube normall attaches to the heat exchangers. So there is no change to the heating system.

so you're blowing the hot air from your internal oil cooler right onto the feed/return line for the external cooler. then you proceed to blow hot air from under the car over a cooler that has no natural air flow what-so-ever. did you mount it flush with the rear trunk? it looks like it. if so, where is the air from the fan supposed to go? the fan won't create any air-flow this way (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) *if* you see any drop in engine temp with that setup, it's most likely due to the fact that you're adding 3 or 4 quarts of oil to the system. i doubt that cooler setup will do anything for 'ya ...
