I will soon be strolling down the ol' HP path, so an oil cooler will be in order. I've done some searching, I know that Brad likes the '75-76 bumper trick but I hate the looks (no flames please) of them. Plus I want to keep my '74 looking as stock (sleeper) as possible. Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions.
Why does every one use hose, why not rigid lines at least for part of the system? (I know you have to connect the engine with hose.) Do most guys run the lines up to the top near the gas tank filler so that the cooler will not drain back? I hate to cut up my nice trunk (Oh well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) ) but what is the best enter/exit for the airflow? One of those CB oil thermostats's or is there a better one? I am keeping the stock cooler as well, what is the best route to take off of the engine? Remove the stock filter mount with an adaptor, to a remote filter, to thermostat, etc.? I have a nice aluminum cooler, I think it is off of some kind of farm equipment, 24" X 5" X 2", it looks like a auto water rad, but it is a oil cooler for sure. What do you guys think? It fits good, it's clean, heavy duty, good flow, etc. I have a 125/15 temporary spare that I think I'll mount on a 4.5" beetle rim and mount it standing up, sound good? I know, I know, f-ing newbie, how many times do we have to cover this? Thanks Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
