Howdy, I realize what section of the forum I am in and I don't have a Cobra, however, I have used you guys in the past to help me figure out other oiling configurations for my car as this forum seems to be on top of this type of fabrication. This forum has always been a great help to me in the past. I've been searching my current problem on this site for about a year now, but now I have to make some decisions.
Anyway, what I am trying to do is setup and
oil cooler on my 1995 Ford Taurus SHO. The biggest problem I am running into at the moment is fitting something on the block. I do not want to run a remote-filter, however, I do want a thermostatic sandwich, or regular sandwich (w/ inline t-stat) that is also high flow. My buddy has a similar setup, but the block webbing makes it difficult to fit large fittings from the sandwich. I'm looking to fit -10 or -12 AN fittings off of the sandwich, where as my buddy is limited to -8, IIRC.
Basically, it appears that I need a spacer between the block and the sandwich. I've noticed that Mocal makes several different sizes, however, their website isn't far from great, so I'm not sure if they'll have anything from me. In the past with an
AMSOIL setup, I have had problems with restricted flow. I ended up spinning a bearing on the track, however, the lack of flow wasn't the only contributor.
Other than that, I have a Fluidyne Therm-HX cooler ready to go (DB-30416 - 14 3/4" x 6 1/4" x 2 3/4"). As I said, I'd like to run -10 AN or 12 AN fittings.
If anyone can offer advise on a good spacer or other plausible routes, I'm all ears. Thanks!!
Just an idea of what I'm working with here... I built this motor to handle LOTS of power, so I'm not dealing with a stock Taurus.
