The oil cooler is still stock from the 502 EFI (now a 509 with much more power). I notice my oil pressure dropping after running hard for very long. Been through all the hoses, pumps, etc and I have figured this motor is much tighter than the old 502 and with the additional power and RPM's the cooler just doesn't have sufficient capacity. Anyone have a recommended size (or even what the stock is so I can go larger) plus...
What size are the fittings ( I am assuming 1/2 inch) for you technical spec guys. thanks for the help.

I use a EMI 3" oil/ps cooler, it has 18" for oil and 4" for ps. I use the 12AN fittings and hose, they are expensive. There are some other options that are less expensive. Do not use the factory stuff, it is way to restrictive. Do a search, this topic has been covered many times.

I think I will need a 3 x 18. Looks like around 3-400.00 bucks thanks for the inputs. Found lots of data from searching and will check mr. Cool. So far eddiemarine is the price leader.
