Oil Cooler

[HPCOBRA]

Thanks for the info. I am running a 460 bored .030 over. The compression ratio is about 11.5/1 with cast iron heads (need a set of aluminum someday). The cam is a bit radical, but I still have minimal vacuum for power brakes. I do not track race but like to play on the street a little. I am not sure that the cooler would be a big benefit for me, but without it the front ends looks bare! Yea it is more of an visual thing but would not mind the benefits of keeping the oil temp under control.
Thanks

I think the best solution is the oil pump approach that fellow CC'er Bob Cowan posted:
Winter will be here soon - starting to think oil cooler thermostats again
See post 30 in this thread.
By using a pump from pan to cooler and back to the pan you don't get the pressure drop or have the problems with getting oil up to temp as Rick Lake noted above.
I think this is a great solution that is on my to do list.
