Reply to "Oil Cooler"

This is the response from the Boss Wrench, Jack DeRyke:

"Don't bother. Only one roadracing Pantera was built with such a cooler mounted here that worked (Mike Anderson of Indiana) and his engine used a NASCAR dry-sump oiling system which itself removed 10 degrees of heat from the 20+-qt oil supply, a huge air-to-oil cooler with big oil lines and looping curved fittings (no rt angle fittings used). No luggage tub is possible with such bulky plumbing back there, incidently. Mike's plumbing description & results are in the Oct POCA newsletter article on water-to-oil coolers, which I recommend rather than any air-to-oil cooler in any position. Mike heavily instrumented his expensive engine for oil temp detection & found that the electric fan & shroud made zero difference even with his heavy, elaborate rig".
