Good coolers...I might go the W123/126 route too (if I end up with a front cooler). I had one of the W123 coolers on my M110 euro FI engine I was going to put in my old W114 coupe. It would be a nice item to honor the car I miss.

I wonder if the smaller W123 model would work on a 2.7/6 as-is or if it would need fans for traffic duty in the DC area.

Yes, I did see as low as $288. What are the fitting sizes?
Glenn, do you or would you use one of these?

If they are not a metric size nipple they will be Cohline fittings.

Edit: 84 300D are M22x1.5

Cohline, in this pic from the bird MB forum shows a cohline fitting.
The bottom line is a standard hose fitting silver soldered on.

you will save a lot of time and heartache buying Jim Patricks designed and tested setup. Years ago before Jim took it upon himself to make a great kit, we used an rx7 mazda cooler and then fabricated aeroquip lines, used a 911 oil cooler thermostat and the gt shroud and 916 engine grille chicken wire. Even took for some high line applications, a factory chrome bumper, cut it to gt specs and had it rechromed to match the lower gt valance

Looking for the correct front oil cooler, preferable Setrab, to mount in front. The Patrick Motorsports one is 21.5 x 4.25, so I am guessing that is the maximum size I can go. Looking for a cheaper or direct alternative rather than spend $450 on the PMS one.

OzCoolingParts Pro Heavy Duty Performance Aluminum Transmission Cooler - approx 20"x 4.5". $200 - probably a good option.

I just went through sourcing this last month, and posted the following on this site, hope this helps! Link Here - Oil Cooler Thread

Additionally, should you settle on the PMS unit, hope my photos and references on my build thread help. I see you're in La Quinta, let me know if you need any assistance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

Youre on to something with the Behr 300D cooler. Dimensions check out and used on EBay under $100, even new aluminum version only $250. Much better. Thanks

I have a couple of them with the swivel fittings.
They are a perfect fit and a quality Ferman made Behr cooler.

Dammit Bruce, I should have thought to call you. I found the Behr Mercedes one at FCPEuro for $190. If I didnt already have a shroud on hand, the PMS kit would have worked out better. I tried to save cash using my existing Setrab cooler, and a shroud already on hand. in hindsight, I could have used the existing cooler without a shroud anyway.
