Oil Cooler.

[chevymaher]

Well the overheating thing has improved dramatically. Between the miles on the engine and the new fans and waterpump.

Now I am putting a oil cooler in. It is expensive and it is made with parts and then one is modified. It will have a aluminum shroud and a 513 cfm fan. It has a 160 degree tstat. And I am putting it in the front wheel well. More heat away from this motor. And not just putting it in the cooling system.

It is rated at 17,000 Btu.

Car is doing well now. I drove it 25 miles on the freeway in 85 degree weather. And then back in stop and go traffic. I also been driving with the air on in similar conditions. It gets warm faster that way of course.

It seems to level out at 194 at the t stat and 210 at the head and go no higher. 154 in the radiator.

Parts for this project should start rolling in tomorrow.

So it it doing much much better than originally. Pegging the gauge and going to 260 in 5 miles in 90 degree weather. with no A/C on.
