Subject:Re: oil cooler

I have a Mocal cooler and thermostatically controlled fans mounted inside the driver's side air vent at bottom. I'm using a Mocal sandwich plate with braided stainless lines and aircraft type connections. The cooler is shielded as to have max benefit of air coming through the vent. Push fans sit on top. 

Best to use an oil cooler sized to precisely cover the air vent opening in the engine compartment, in the same fashion a WBX air intake's shielding covers it. Mount one larger fan inside in a pull configuration. Use stainless braided lines to minimize oil pressure loss to expansion. 

Chris.
