Anybody using an external oil cooler? If so, I'd be interested in knowing who makes it, if you like it, and how you mounted it. Pics would be great. This is for a 350 hp 4.6L so nothing radical.
Thanks!

Let me get a good pic of mine and put her up. Came out of a Crown Vic from the salvage yard (I found a former police car for this one).

I've got a Flex-a-lite Transmission cooler. It's small amd have it's own fan.

Yep, this car is all business.......................including the 145 MPH stone chips and screen protecting the cooler and radiator and of course the race tape!

I think I'm going to go with this cooler from Earl's. It is a plate-type, compact, and I think the 4"x9"x2" thick core will be plenty for street use in this car. It's got to be at least as functional as the air/water type I removed from the engine. It also uses -10AN fittings which what I have on the rest of the oil system (remote filter).
hey historic, could you take another picture maybe fromthe top loking down. im thinking about finding that oil cooler. i just would like to see another picture of it. thanks alot man.

-10AN is pretty big. How do you make sure the oil wont be flowing through there too fast to cool off much?
Yes, wrong terminology on my part. Big pipes make for more VOLUME not speed. I guess that ANY cooling of the oil is a good thing, it just seems like a small cooler that is gonna have a lot of oil flowing through it compared to a larger cooler with smaller feed-lines would.
hey guys check this out, how about a setrab (read expensive) oil cooler for 10 bucks? it's slightly used and came from a winston cup car. might be kind of small to be a very effective engine oil cooler but would make a good PS fluid cooler or the like. they probably have full sized engine oil coolers as well, i just haven't looked lately.
