So I am starting to think about winter projects and it is time to do something about my oil temps for summers here in Texas. I am looking to knock off about 20degs or so.

I am not interested in putting the cooler up front.

Has anyone ever heard or tried to put one in the pax rear fender well. I would think it would be a cooler setup than mounting over the tranny. I haven't completely scoped out how things would route, but I am thinking I would have to cut a hole in the engine tin (forward / right corner - perhaps near the pax J-tube hole) to get the hoses high enough to get above the long. Then cut through the inner fender somewhere just forward of the battery tray to get into the fender well.

This may have bad idea written all over it, so I thought I would through it out there.

Comments or other ideas?

thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

For a non-track car, is an electric fan absolutely necessary?

Also, do you have to use a different oil filter if you use a sandwich adaptor?
