I'm adding a front mounted oil cooler to a '71 914 converted with a 2.7 liter six. I am planning on using -12 size hose.
I have an old oil cooler that has AN8 fittings and lines. Is this cooler too small? Will there be too much restriction due to the smaller line sizing? The cooler is made by Behr. Six cooling plates. Core is 4" x 18". Thanks Eddie '71 914 2.7 |
