i know we've been through this before, but ...

i'm now actively looking to assemble a front mounted oil-cooler.
what has worked for you? brand? size? thermostat? line-size?

right now, the engine is a warmed up 2056. the car will definately see some track-time during '05.
also, keep in mind that i still plan on putting in a /6 one of these days, either 3.2 or 3.6.
so, i would like to (at least) have the lines the proper size for that already.

what kind of thermostat do you guys run? what brand cooler? what size oil-lines?
what route? ( i would prefer to retain heat, if possible)
don't want to do the under the rocker panel thing. so i think i'm kinda stuck routing through the cabin.
any objections?

how about higher volume oil-pumps? pickup points? return?
i have a oil-filter location sandwich adapter. good or bad?


whatch'ya'all think?
