In my installation, it looks like I'll require two radiators and two
oil coolers to make things fit. Should the plumbing be in parallel or
series?
Scott Gettings
In theory parallel is better. In practice it is hard to make
sure both rads are getting their fair share of coolant.
You need flow meters on both.

If they have to be in series, make the hose between them as BIG as
possible?
