Topic 1: Has anyone ever tried mounting an oil cooler under a GT lid just above the fan, and if so does it keep the temp low enough for DE events?
Topic 2: Has anyone here ever adapted motronic from a 3.2 to work on a 2.7? If so, what is involved? Which distributor? What cam? Stock low compression CIS pistons or JEs? Topic 3: What kind of power can I get if I keep the CIS but am willing to port the heads, change cams and go to JE pistons? Please feel free to address any or all of the above? I have a '74 2.7 core that is currently torn apart and ready to send out for machining. It already has case-savers and nikasil jugs, so I am going to stay at 2.7. I have all of the CIS parts, so that is an option for induction, but I would rather do something else (other than carbs). I will also be running stock 6 heat exchangers and a 911 muffler. I just can't bear the thought of rebuilding this thing and only ending up with 150 hp, so any tips would be most appreciated. |

does it keep the temp low enough for DE events? Here are your two choices: - Install a front mounted cooler now. - Fiddle with other solutions, spent time and money only to find they don't work well, then install a front mounted cooler anyways. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Lots of threads on different oil cooler locations but like Andy said, the front is the most effective. It's just a pain in the wallet to get it there. |

It's just a pain in the wallet to get it there. Problem is that I want to run an LE dam and I don't want to cut my bumper, so getting air into it is the issue. I am not running fog lights currently. I wonder if enough air enters the grills to be effective? It's gotta go somewhere, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
