the first engine conversion would have to be done for there to be a 'next'... one day
I know exactly what temperature - I bought it with a 92° thermostat as you recommended... I also bought it with AN fittings which I'm regretting a bit. I picked AN fittings because the oil cooler has AN fittings and that's what Sam used - but I think they're overrated and too expensive, barb fittings and hose clamps would have been better... I bought some hose and fittings this morning - $220 for 2m of hose, 2 straight hose ends and 2 90° hose to oil cooler fittings is just ridiculous. I'm not happy with the routing of the hose, it's going to rub on things. Angled fittings out of the filter head would help but I can see myself making hard lines in the future.
I made a bracket at the back that hangs off where the SMIC's rear bracket was and welded a tab to the front bar - it's in a good spot but it might be a bit exposed
