Would anyone with a 1962 Corvette...using an oil cooler...please contact me 
regards the installation.  I need advice on remote filter vs. sandwich/ 
block oil filter connection to cooler; thermostat; routing and type of 
hoses (this seems tough) to the cooler and where and how you installed the 
oil cooler (size and brand would help!)...surprisingly it seems very 
difficult to get anybody with the older Corvettes to cough up 
information...gee, I hope there are still some racing...

Lastly will an improved engine water "heat exchanger" ...radiator to most 
of us...lower engine oil temps?

Thanks in advance!  Have a great and safe new year.
