OK, this has gotten a little more interesting. I have asked a number of
people the question of the best location for the oil cooler and I have been
told
by one old timer, to lay it flat over a cutout in the shroud where the
crank
guide is. He said that there is plenty of airflow at speed to make it
effective and it will not interfere with the radiator. What say the list?
Frankly, this does not sound like a good idea to me, but I am open!
David,
I don't know if you plan on seriously racing your car or not, or what your
objective is. My objective in my car was to provide as mush cooling as reliably
as I could to both the engine and the oil. I installed a finned cat oil
sump. It holds a whole lot more oil (7 qts?) and gets cooling air across the
fins
under the car. I also installed a temp gauge-but that's not needed. I
ampleased with it.
