Has anyone used an aircraft oil cooler like a unit from a IO 540 to

some
installations.  Thanks for any help.

I know where you are coming from Joe. I've had about 10 different
ducting mods to my oil cooler installation, trying to fit that crazy
thing into a LEZ. I've finally hit upon the most elegant solution, and
I
am finally done with that thing. But if anyone comes up with a more
favorable form factor that works I am all ears.

Why don't you guys try an air conditioner evaporator?  Lynn Hanover has
reported good results in his race cars with these (I believe that he
used these when he was getting started in racing and proper oil coolers
were not in the budget).  Lynn, correct me if I'm wrong.
