Doug,
Last year I finally bit the bullet and purchased the complete adjustable remote filter setup from Beaumont Metal Works.

I had been blocking my cooler off (with cardboard) during the winter months the last several years. I still get just about the same effect now during the dead of winter (it's impossible to get the
oil up to full temp after the outside temps drop below 40 or so). Forget about trying!
When I upgraded to the Beaumont unit, I also went from AN10 to AN12 lines for more flow, and changed the
oil cooler to AN12. The Beaumont unit DOES make a big difference in the spring and fall, as I can adjust the flow to the
oil cooler on the "cool" days to keep the oil temp up. For that, it is well worth it.
During the dead of winter, when temps drop below 20, I just run it a "little" easier, to minimize any damage from the colder oil temps.
It's a trade off. Do you want to "save" your Cobra replica for your kids/grandkids, or do you want to DRIVE it!
I choose to drive :-)
If you would like to see photos of my setup, let me know and I will post them for you.
