Well like just about everything else this seems to have gotten out of hand. Other than the aforementioned oil thermostat the rest of the cooling system was pretty beat and/or just not up to the demands of a hot 3.2SS. The factory trombone cooler is pretty basic....
One thing led to another, and I ultimately decided the best way to go would be new parts, including the Carrera cooler and install kit from our host, plus an 8" Spal fan:
New lines....
And a few miscellaneous bits.
The big picture: there's a surprisingly substantial system at work keeping the motor cool and lubricated in a 911.
Whatever makes it happy!!
