[DeTomaso] Oil Cooler

[michael at michaelshortt.com]

There is a difference between a cold air intake and a forced air scoop
lots of cars use a cold air snorkel , most located on inner fenders,
Mustangs, Porsches, etc.  But I would not call those scoops as if to imply
any kind of Forced Air at an intake speed beyond that of the rate the car
sucks it in.
