Exactly. I'll start right on that. What kind of chassis can I get for $75?

I'm using a System One remote oil filter system, Setrab 14"x6" oil cooler, Mocal oil thermostat, all done in 12 AN lines. The oil filter and cooler are mounted left and right of radiator.

I have some old pics that i will post. With temps reaching as high as 300 I would definitely pick up a larger cooler with fan and thermostat.

Gaetano what type of oil temps are you seeing on 90* day 20 min sessions? Water temps?

Last year on a 104* day I never saw water temps over 200*.Oil temps have never been over 220*

That sounds like a system that is working well. I am deciding on my oil cooling right now and I think I will be mimicing your setup or very close to it. We have an Earl's cooler that is about 13" x 9" but it is -10AN and I really want to step up to -12AN I think.

Your Mocal thermostat is set at 180*, correct?

That is correct, oil flow opens to cooler at 180*. The Setrab oil cooler was picked up off of E-Bay from some sort of NASCAR affiliation.

Wow! What engine combo?

I'm also assuming that the -12 lines, etc plumb into what are effectively 1/2" NPT fittings on the filter adapter and the engine adapter?

I'm running an aluminum PBM small block 427. Dynoed at 620 hp at 6500 and 550 torque at 5000.

The System One billet block adaptor comes with male -12 AN fittings built into them

Either way, I still recommend you add a fan to your oil cooler with 300* oil temps.

im running one in the radiator. its better than nothing, and i dont plan many track events over a few laps. i do have a chevelle and it runs a wider radiator and larger fans than the camaros. im hoping that the added volume negates the oil cooler being inside. prc has a bitchin setup and i hope it works as well as they say. todds running the same setup and i havent heard of any issues.

The Mocal thermostats will bypass some oil through the cooler below the set temperature. Mine is the higher 203*F version and I can't make the oil get that hot. On the street the temps never get over 180*, and that's on a really hot day + running the engine hard. I have a three-way ball valve that will go in soon so that the cooler can be isolated for non-track days. Cold oil is no bueno.
