Where do you have your oil cooler?

[Humble]

Here's my setup on the race car which may work on a street car. Oil cooler is a Perma-cool Maxicool unit, 10.5" x 14" x 3.75" including the 900 cfm fan. I'm running 1/2" lines and -8 fittings on everything. The oil cooler sits in a custom frame of aluminum angle that bolts to the body and has a brace underneath to a stud on the block. There is a thermostat inline to turn on the fan and a manual override switch in the dash. For a street car you could run a smaller one that would fit better behind the wheel.

Thanks for the info/pics.

I have what looks like to be a Mercedes oil cooler. Made couple brackets to attach the cooler to the beam/pan bolts. The in/out fitting of the cooler are really close to the beam so i will try to figure out a 90deg fitting that will allow it to attach to the oil cooler(M14) and end up in a -8AN/JIC.

I'll try to get pics up soon.

Right now I have a WIX 51773 oil cooler with a heatsink wrapped around it in the rear driver wheel well, I will probably move it and put my big oil cooler there, similar to what humble has done. Except, I don't really need the cooler unless I've been doing 80 MPH down the freeway for sometime and suddenly have to sit and idle, otherwise I never even see 220 degree oil, and I run synthetic, so I'm not terribly worried, but Summer is coming! The car already uses 7 quarts of oil, and adding a cooler will only make it hold more, an oil change costs over $50 and I do it myself and get a discount, crazy beetle...
