So after a little brainstorming on an oil cooler layout, I figured I better actually do it.
Started out by figuring out the mounting of the cooler itself. It's a very large (4 x 24 fin area) and I think a good fit for a 3.6 since it doesn't have an engine mounted cooler. I started by cutting sections out of the front support tray for clearance and then re-boxing the area to keep the shelf rigid and serve as a mounting point for the front of the cooler. Here's a pic of the cut outs........... Attached image(s)

OK, it was a day of sniffin' fumes!
Layed up the main part of the plenum today. Started by adding scab plates to all the mounting surfaces. I used pieces of plexaglass for the flanges. These allow for a perfect flange when doing the layup. A pic........... Attached image(s)
