Yes - I was talking about a oil to water setup. Guess I should have clearified that. BIB - A thermostat is ok, but with the oil cooler most cobras have there is no provision to heat your engines oil supply up in cold situations. If you are doing any track work at all or plan on driving your car on cool days there is no substitute. With the aluminum parted crate motor you are planning on using there is no choice in my mind. Time to get "modern" with those updated engines. Another option is to use both if you have them, on really hot days of course. In any rate todays synthetic oils can withstand much more heat and do a much better job of carrying heat away from engine parts. I'll stand firm on my oil cooler statement above. In most cases where engine cooling is not a problem, there is no need for the air to oil coolers that I see on most Cobras.
