That great big
over-grown oil cooler finally ended up inside the car, behind the
rear seat. It is a totally sealed unit which draws cool air from
the outside and returns the hot air back outside. It's
thermostatically controlled per the temperature of the engine
oil. The oil temperature has never exceeded 200 degrees, even on
the hottest summer days.
Some folks
have wondered why I didn't put the bloody thing on the roof or at
the front of the car.
For two reasons:
-
Coolers are
just plumb ugly on the roof. If they belonged there I assume
Ford Motor Company would have mounted the radiator of my Lincoln Town Car on the
roof!
-
I don't feel
comfortable with my precious engine oil running all over heck in
rubber tubing just waiting for something to poke a hole in it!
The oil cooling system is covered in detail in my new eBook,
"The Type IV
Engine Conversion Bible". You can see step-by-step
instructions on installing it.
