I would like to put a oil cooler on my car. Is there any way to mount the lines off the oil filter so I dont have to remove the engine? I want to retain the factory cooler and add another cooler under the engine cover. I have a engine lid that has 32 small louvers stamped in it to allow more air to come thru to help the heat build up. This is not a race car but the oil temp needs to come doen when I drive for several hours.

Bernie,
I added one on the Bumblebee, mounted on the bottom of the rear trunk. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures handy. In the hot summer in Iowa, the cooler definately made a difference. The fan was veru good, but provided more help running around town. It provided less benefit on long stretches on the highway. I didn't use HUGE lines, but I had some made at NAPA pretty inexpensively, from high pressure hydraulic hose with custom fittings. I'm very happy with it, and it was a budget job that came out looking good. -Rusty |
