Ok, so I know this subject has been beaten to death many times.
However, I'd like to bring it back to life again, just to get
current-thinking vs. what we've gone round & round about in the past.

It's time for me to start buying radiators/coolers for our M2 build.
What are the current best-bet parts to be considered?  Mazda original
equipment, vs aftermarket? Are we still all convinced that pivoting a
radiator off the s-beam & hanging it below the cowling is the best way
to shed heat?   On the oil cooler front, I see that Jerry's latest
scheme is to mount it behind the engine & bring cooling air  straight
down the firewall.   Given that the air will have been heated by the
engine / exhaust manifold on it's way there, I wonder whether the
delta-T in this configuration will be sufficient to provide the proper
cooling.

On the more mundane side, what are good sites to order hoses & what not
from?  Paul, how about the clamps you believe are must-haves?

As you can see, we're transitioning from "get the engine built" thinking
to "get the engine installed" mode.  Heck, it's been a whole 3 days
since I last exercised the credit-card for aiplane parts.. wouldn't want
it to go stale or anything... ;-)

If you have any questions please let me know as I am getting ready to publish
