Mark - have a few questions regarding this design

1. On the left side with the three integrated coolers in the crossover tank, are there just lines running inside, or are there fins with a line curving through them like the heat exchanger on a refrigerator buried in there?

2. You mention getting an oil cooler that is stainless steel - is there a particular reason that SS was chosen as the material v. aluminum? I would think conduction across and convection through an aluminum part would be better, certainly conduction as SS is a poor thermal conductor.

TIA.
