Hi,
In building the 440 replacement for my 383 I started thinking about oil temps. (Was reading some tech articles on oil) The 440 is going to make around 500 hp (ported 440-source heads and the STL 3842 cam). Anyone running an oil cooler and would like to chime in, I'm open to suggestions. I know it's borderline overkill, but so is the 7 qt Milodon road-race pan and most of the internals. I'm partial to this model, it has AN fittings which I prefer over hose clamps.

What's everybody running?
As far as oil goes, I've been happy with full synthetics for going on 30 years and my machine shop likes clearances on the on the bigger side with heavier viscosity and a HV pump.
