For Sale Factory big block oil cooler

[r/t]

From the sixties, used on emergency units, ambulance, cop cars and industrial, plums into heater hose. 60$ minus pump , bolts included.

I'm quite interested - does it have a little rad like a P S. cooler?

 

[Gerald Morris]

A MOST INTERESTING oil cooler! Looks like they plumbed the pump a bit to circulate oil to the heater hose setup, where heat was shed. The pump would be essential to such an approach. Some clever machinist might be able to duplicate this on a regular pump....

Factory part? Are you sure about that?

 

[r/t]

Yes it was used on emergency vehicles, industrial motors as well. It came off a jet boat motor i purchased for the rotating ***'y.

Same idea, comes on 6.4 truck hemis.

You might notice I didn't climb on the "let's trash new trucks" thread... for although there are a lots of sissies driving sissy trucks with stupid features; these trucks are also incredibly capable if you have one spec'd out as a real truck. And I say that as a guy who owns a '73 3/4 ton.

It's just that I won't drop mucho dinero to throw 2 yards of crushed limestone in the bed. But when these trucks drop in price...

I sure wish full size cars could have been able to soldier on with things like 6.4 Hemis and electric ***-warmers. Since people can't buy a NY anymore, and the 300 is a half-hearted effort in many ways, they buy trucks instead.

Until now...

Wasn't trashing trucks, only sissies.

No, that would be air cooled, on a non-intense application air would cool the oil down too low, fuping uck the viscosity and not evaporating contaminating fuel and moisture caused by piston ring blow-by!

Thanks! Does it have a factory part number cast in it anywhere?

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

It has to be later than 66 - there's no oil cooler to be found in the 66 parts book. There's power steering cooler, trans cooler, trailer tow stuff, but no oil cooler.

Interesting. I'd love to know the original application (see some literature from the options book from the year), and the part number. Couldn't find it in the 1966 book, so it is likely from 67 or later...

 

[live4theking]

That is certainly an interestng piece.

I know it wouldn't fit in my 66 Polara, the frame would interfere.
