If you're going to use -12 lines with a T-IV engine, I think you're going to have a pressure problem.  Sixes run the cooler in the scavenge circuit, where pressure isn't an issue.  Since the four doesn't have a scavenge circuit, you're pumping all the oil with the pressure pump, which I don't think will be able to handle that kind of volume.

My four had -10 lines for my front-mount cooler, which worked fine, but when I got the six, I had to re-plumb with -12.

good point....

up to what size six, will -10 support?

lookin like dash 10 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

The problem is that -10 is the max for a four and -12 is the minimum for a six.

There's no cross-over size that works for both.
