So after a little brainstorming on an oil cooler layout, I figured I better actually do it.
Started out by figuring out the mounting of the cooler itself. It's a very large (4 x 24 fin area) and I think a good fit for a 3.6 since it doesn't have an engine mounted cooler. I started by cutting sections out of the front support tray for clearance and then re-boxing the area to keep the shelf rigid and serve as a mounting point for the front of the cooler. Here's a pic of the cut outs........... Attached image(s)

Food for thought . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Why not somehow vent it out through the trunk lid infront of the windshield instead of into the wheel area ? Why add more heat to the tire/brake area . Wouldn't that be counter productive ?

At least through the top would give you a side benefit of having warm air possibly being blown onto the windshield acting like a defroster/defogger which in the colder climates would be a plus . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) The way you are doing this seems to be well thought out and a damn good idea in its own right.
