External Oil Cooler-4 bolt BB Chevys

**mockingbird812** · #1 03-08-2007, 11:38 PM

Interested if anyone has info/photos of any factory/dealer installed external oil coolers utilizing the dedicated tapped/threaded holes in the area of the oil galley. If none available from factory/dealer, what were most folks running for street/strip duty? Where did they mount the cooler?

Thanks,

I had saved pictures of an NOS GM cooler on eBay several years ago. I'll see if I can find them. It seems like it would have been mounted in front of the radiator for maximum cooling

Sam,
I believe I have a old 70's book at home regarding building Chevrolet big blocks and in it there is a photo of that installation. It may have been on a Can Am engine. If it is not packed away I will dig it out and scan it for you tonight late.

Were coolers an option or an accessory?
