Ed K. modified my stock oil cooler which I had retrieved from a
wreck. He cut off the stock tanks which included the thermostat and
replaced them with the tanks  you see. It no longer matters which way
the oil flows through the cooler.     While he was at it, he cleaned
the core which was found to be full of debris.  Finally he pressured
tested the unit.  I have placed it in front of the firewall.  Air
will be ducted from the right nostril.  For those who are interested,
Ed can build a NEW oil cooler using cores that are identical to the
stock Mazda. He can shorten up the cooler a bit and make it wider  as
well, which should make it  easier to fit under the cowl.  Jerry

That seems to be a pretty good place for an oil cooler. That is where
Chuck Dunlap mounted his. Use a smooth interior surface duct
to feed air to a wedge shaped diffuser on top of the oil cooler.
Chuck used rolled up sheet aluminum.
