Looking for an oil cooler core that more long than tall. Having some difficulty finding one.

I'd like one that around 24" long and 6" tall and 2-3" thick. All the ones I'm finding are more square in shape.

Any suggestions on where to find what I want? I'm not married to a brand, Mocal, Setrab, etc, etc are all fine by me...

Take a look at speedway. They are a circle track supplier. I have a 24x5x5 off a circle track car that works great.

I usually go with BAT Inc.

Use the Tru-Cools on several of my vehicles, no problems with quality.
Not as big a custom selection as Mocal but pretty good stuff.
They also have the thermal bypasses.

Porsche 928 GTS oil cooler?

Did you look at the Lindsey Racing oil cooler set-up?

V2Rocket

circletrack/nascar stuff is probably your best bet!

The Lindsey cooler is about the size I'm looking for, but I'd prefer one with inlet/outlets on either side of the cooler. That's the way I currently have the car plumbed for one, so it'd be minimal work at that point.

There's gotta be a place that sells that core size in a standard Setrab/Mocal/whatever brand for half of what Lindsey is asking...

Found some at Pegasus Racing, Setrab makes a bunch, but Day-um they're expensive!

would one like this work for you
80s Merc 300D/TD engine oil coolers.
i can get them used at the yards for $25 or so, new they are $300 i think?

dang Spencer, nice find!

V2Rocket

I ran one of these for a few years, worked great, only reason I changed was to get some more FMIC clearance but that's (presumably ) not an issue for the LS guys

docwyte

Spencer, yeah, that's about perfect! As tempting as it is to buy one used, I think I'd be best served with a new one.

Ok, found that's it's from an '81-'85 300SD, TD, part # 1261800065. Amazon has them for $346 with free shipping for Prime members. I actually have some Amazon gift cards too.

Going to confirm the size I need to fit the car, but this one seems like the best price for the size core. The Lindsey one is a bit longer, but is almost twice the cost.

these have a sort of ball-nose type of fitting to seal (not the threads), my local parker dealer was able to find a match or you can have the spare MB hose ends i have in a box somewhere.

i really liked this cooler when i ran it.

docwyte

They're not a standard 22mm or -AN fitting? Do the MB hose ends crimp onto a SS hose?

Will definitely take you up on your offer of the spare hose ends...
