I'm starting front clam removal to install my new alloy radiator from Sector 111 and while pulling off the driver side liner, looked at the cooler and wondered why I could not remove this and use it in the rear of the car. Is there any reason?
Background: A year and a half ago, I smelled a bit of oil on a hot summer day and upon inspection, saw a tiny bit of weeping of oil at the upper cooler fitting. I immediately stopped driving the car and bought the adapter and did the full cooler delete. Being a street car, this has been fine thus far, as far as I know.
This is a street car. I *may* track it for HPDEs in the future but have not decided whether to do that or not. I already have an all metal 180 degree thermostat.
Since the clam will be off, I expect cooler removal will be relatively easy. I can then buy new fittings and hose and run this in the rear as the BOE solution has using the setrab cooler.
I'm just wondering if there is some reason that I don't know about why I shouldn't use the stock cooler.
On another note, are there easy places to install oil temp and oil pressure gauge sensors?
