Jim,

FWIW the factory Gr4 race Panteras used a front-mounted oil cooler.   
(Well, 2860 did anyway).   It was the full width of the lower valance, mounted in 
front of the valance, with the air ducted to it from the full-size Gr4 air 
dam.

I don't think they used any oil cooler originally, but it was added during 
the ongoing development phase.   I believe the lines were routed through the 
passenger side rocker, where the A/C lines ran on '71 cars.

Ask Guy Trigaux, who owns the car now.

Mike
