Nope, them alone would suck for cooling, as they figured out way back then.
I assume, some auto makers around the globe had puller fans that could have been used. But then you get into the argument between the racing cobras and the street cars, and what needed and cheapest ect.......

Default Oil filter

The idea is to have good filtering and ample flow. General mass produced oil filters do an average job on most cars, in my case I have researched oil filters extensively and have found this filter to filter small enough particles 8 - 10 microns and give plenty of flow,

http://www.cantonracingproducts.com/...ion&key=25-106

Most race filters like Wix 51515R or R series filters are around 60 micron filtering, this is because race orientated engines require flow more than filtering. I chose the Canton for it is expensive and had the flow and fine filtering attributes, according to their claims!

Another good filter is the Moroso race filters they go down to 28 microns and give plenty of flow for high performance engines, I wasnt concerned about going lower than 28 - 30 microns, all I wanted was better filtering than the purpose built race filters that other manufacturers supply. The Canton is a bit bling looking for this chap but really compact and as my car is dry sump I want plenty of flow!

AJ-That's some good information. Do you have photo's to post ?

I have used the Moroso, K & N and Wix. Anderson like the Moroso.

It's ironic you mentioned the canton, as I'm getting that oil canister filter and the fuel canister. Both unscrew from the top, so it's a lot cleaner change.

I'm also getting the Accusump 3 qt, electric switch hooked into the ignition, so it's all automatic, and all the other accessories and billet mounts. Very cool system and a great amount of people at Canton.

I will mention, with my published 527 cid side oiler engine project, I'm getting all the system for a extremely great price, for advertising their products, as well as all the engine parts. The article is a comparison between the 60's side oiler and the new Genesis, as 40 + years, many things have changed to bring this engine up to date. Two of the magazines are Car Craft and kit Car Builder.
I'm very excited.

The entire build will be posted here and several other websites, with photo's and video.

I assume these are the ones you bought ?

Default Oil filters

I use the Canton pictured for the oil filter, for fuel I have used Aeromotive SS Pump and filters.
I have tried to upload some photos from my 16 year old Mac G3 computer and CC doesnt like the size, I am waiting for the new Imac out soon so will update my pictures then.

Good stuff with the oil filter and I buy a 6 pack of filters to last me a while, as some of this stuff isnt that available here in NZ.

lol, I thought my 2003 desk top was OLD !
Now,..... I don't feel so bad.

I also ordered the 6 pack of filters and two of the billet mounts to replace the clamps. Should be a hot set-up.
