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.
