5.0 coyote with oil cooler

[rcotner]

I have installed a 5.0 mustang crate engine in my 33 hot rod. It is the high performance Aluminator version. This engine comes with an oil cooler. I don't believe the oil cooler and filter will fit within the frame. Has anyone solved the problem of keeping the cooler and making everything fit?

I'm running a supercharged BMW S65 out of an M3 and we have been really worried about detonation with such a small Grille for a radiator (and in my app their's a big intercooler between the radiator and the grille). Just mocked up, welded in brackets and plumbed both the engine oil cooler and the supercharger oil cooler this past weekend, and finished milling a bracket for the reservoir for the supercharger since I couldn't find one commercially I liked and the one that came with it looked really too cheap to be mounted in such a prominent spot on an open firewall in a car that will run without hood, fenders and side panels. Decided to mount both in the rear so the extra distance in the hose acts as additional cooler. Additionally ran mammoth 12AN lines and a NASCAR WIX filter for extra oil capacity for the motor. Put the engine oil cooler with a fan in the bottom of the trunk horizontally to draw fresh air over the rear end and I'll have a shroud made up to dump it out the other side out the back. I put the SC cooler on the passenger side just behind the rear bulkhead and just below the floor line. I'll mount the transmission cooler in the same spot on the driver's side. Need to pick up some additional fittings, much bigger rivnuts and fasteners to mount the hose length to the frame to finish it up, but here's where it was at at the end of the weekend.
