I didn't get one yet, the wife just lost her job so no more parts for a bit. She found something else but no paychecks for a while. The nerve of her to do it during racing season.
I'm just going to piece one together. All you need is the billet adapter from one of a couple places, stuff to make the lines, the cooler, and some L shaped aluminum to make 2 brackets. That's it. Although since the header will come off I'll want to do engine mounts at the same time.
Size will depend on how much abuse you put it through and the ambient temps you do it in. If all you do is "normal" driving then you really don't need one at all. If you road race then you'll need a good sized one. You can go as cheap or as fancy as you want with thermostatically controlled or fan units. Although I'll probably just get a bigger one with no fancy crap. Its a sunday driver and track car so I'm not worried about cold weather never letting the oil get up to temp.
You can also consider a thermostat change, fan settings, and possibly a bigger radiator if you're hardcore. Or some water wetter in the radiator will help a bit too. I need to rob a bank first or do it super slow cause I want it all.
