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.

Air does not blow onto the cooler lines. There is 1" of space between the cooler and the trunk floor (twice the space required by the cooler). Air is pulled down through the cooler - not up. Cooler and lines only add .6 quarts of capacity to the system.
I believe it will do what I need (provide 20 degrees of additional oil cooling on a hot day when doing 80mph for extended periods). Demick |
