Mike.=20
Scott=E2=80=99s advice is all good except I=E2=80=99d try to mount the oil c=
ooler under the radiator and little more forward.
I don=E2=80=99t like the air going through the oil cooler, warming up and th=
en going through the radiator. If possible try to push fresh cool air for ea=
ch cooler separately. All the air can pass through the grill for the radiato=
r and the air for the oil cooler can come from below. (Through the air dam, a=
nd shrouded separately.)
