Oil Cooler
I need all the cooling that I can get with my 700hp big block motor and to that end I was planning to use an oil cooler. My engine builder has strongly recommended that I not use one as he has seen several failed engines contributed to improper use of oil coolers. He says that the supplied #10 line in not of adequate size(he says #12 is minimum). He also says that without a dedicated fan there is little cooling to be had for street use(low speed). I would appreciate some input on this subject. -Bob
