Been in the mode of attaining the parts to add-on a motor oil cooler ...
Since the motor is on it's way to being a Hoss, anything that will help keep it running cool is a plus ..
A while back nailed down the used GM oil cooler adapter and a few feet of AN-8 hose & fittings ...
Was on the hunt for a used cooler that would fit a spot I got picked out, not wanting to add heat to the radiator cause I got a feeling it will have it's hands full keeping the motor running cool ..
Did run up on a few used coolers with -8 hose fitting that I could have used, tried to nail one down by paying with using PayPal .. That didn't work out very well so I gave up on finding used ..
Bought one off of eBay that would fit between the frame rails .. Perfect for the intended spot I had in mind, but it had AN-10 fitting welded on ... Did a little backing up on the parts ...
Do think everything needed was in hand to mount the cooler ...
Not knowing what I was going to run into plumbing wise ordered enough fittings to make it happen ...
The -10 hose size was the ticket, any bigger wouldn't have worked out well ..
Fabricated some mounts to weld on .. Not liking the hose fittings I got, they don't allow for much room .. Got some different ones coming ...
Do think my choice for the cooler was the right one ... Certainly is big enough, shouldn't have a problem getting rid of heat ....
To keep a eye on the oil temp I installed a gauge ...
Hope the fittings comes in today ..
Still have the welding to do and to fab the lower mount ...
