[DeTomaso] Front Oil Cooler / a non-technical response / Dick Ruzzin

[Dickruzzindesign at aol.com]

An aero engineer once told me that the location of an oil cooler is not too 
critical as long a there is reasonable space around it for expanded heated air 
to move away from it.   He said that the oil traveling through a finned unit 
will reject a lot of heat without being in a major airflow area, like the front 
of a car. 

If you locate it in the rear I would keep it away from the exhaust, maybe 
even shield the exhaust some. Buy a thin one, single row, with as much surface as 
you can get and install it with enough uninterrupted space above it so that 
heat can rise above it when in slow traffic.

And a thermostat.
