Yes. Faster oil warm up in the winter and constant cooling even at a standstill in the summer. Sounds great to me.
What I'd really love to see is a kit so that I don't have to piece mail this together. Most important parts would be molded radiator hoses to make this work.

Also this was under the assumption that I convert to aftermarket intake so the intake boxes are not in the way.
( Click to show/hide )I guess my current idea is to lay it down along the bottom of the radiator, but then the coolant hose has to do a 180, and come back to the engine, the 180 pipes or silicone couplers are also really wide and have to worry about hitting the fan shrouds and crank pulley, and agh my brain is hurting again thinking about this.
I wish this thing had female NPT threads on the sides (like most other oil coolers and sandwich plate adapters) instead of these AN fittings because you could make it a lot more compact using something like this
rather than this sticking out of opposite sides.
I think I'm actually going to try drilling and tapping these AN flanges to convert them into NPT female fitting. I can maybe take some pics of how huge all this crap is later.

What model did you get? Looking at their offering the longest one is only like 16" at most. Also did you plan on running this cooler with the stock radiator?
