Post oil cooler opinions

ok, hopefully I will have the powerplay running by memorial day .. The 383 is coming along little by little. My stock 270 hp did not have a oil cooler, just a p/s cooler.

Would it be smart for me to put on a stock merc big block oil/ps cooler with a oil thermostat. With this setup the oil will not get overheated and it won't be cooled to much either..... correct? and ideas would help

Thanks


Travis

If you run it hard for any length of time at all I would run a cooler. Personally I wouldn't run a boat with out an oil cooler. Thermostat for keeping oil temperature up may not be required depending on water temperature and where you boat. Fun project!

Traviss, do it!!! I thought I could do without after modifying my 350 Mag to 383.
Oil gets too hot, thats why I will install the original combined oilcooler of an 454. I already have one, but didnt do the installing yet, hope it works out. I am not planning on using an t-stat though.
Good luck!

Traviss, I've got a 330 oil cooler for free if you come and get it. Maybe when you go to Valako's or the party here.

Here I go picking up Traviss' leftovers again.

I'd like to buy an oil cooler setup for my 406. Preferably with t-stat. Anyone got one they want to unload?
