I am going to refit the air/oil cooler to my dry-sumped Mk1 Pinto car due to excessive oil temps on long stages. I was considering using a Mocal oil/water cooler but have gone off the idea. In order to have better control over the correct oil temp I am now considering an air/oil cooler with an electric fan. Further, due to space requirements at the front of the car and the inability to control temps when the cooler if open to full airflow (I don't want to use an oil stat) I am thinking about alternate locations for the cooler. The obvious is in the boot next to the oil tank. This would minimise additional oil lines/weight.
Has anybody mounted an oil cooler on a Mk1 Escort other than in front of the grill?? Photos? Anybody used a switched fan on the cooler?
