I am running oil t-stats from Improved Racing as well and love them. I got the thermostatic filter head. Super simple plumbing and clean install, standard block adapter is used. I have the older version, this is their new one that replaced other:

Is the earls version basically the same? Just wondering from a price standpoint.

Their inline thermostat unit looks real similar, I used the thermostatic filter head and a standard Teague 3"x18" cooler mounted over the bellhousing and I relocated the power steering cooler.

Tom - can you post a hand drawn out pic/illustration of the oil and water routing.
I’m currently rigging the head mount remote oil filter. So say in and out on that but regards to the stat oil cooler as shown in pic with the stat on the left. I’m assuming the raw water flow direction does not matter.
Tks in advance

Basically, hot oil comes out of the remote adapter and goes to the filter. From the filter it goes to the thermostatic control head on the cooler (left side of the picture). Output is through the other side of the cooler and then back to the remote adapter on the block. Water flow and oil flow are opposite to each other.

On this style cooler (I’m using the 700 hp version) Mr. Cool and Hardin (when they used to sell it) say it’s supposed to hold temps between 190 and 215. We’ll see how that works in the real world.
