The goal for this car wasn't really for it to be my DD, it was to be a replacement for my bike, and be my Road Race car that I used with my brother when he travels down this way to race (VIR and CMP)

I plan to install an oil cooler for sure and will more then likely go with the Moroso pan.

I just haven't settled on which way I'm going to install the Oil cooler . I've thought about changing up the OFH to the one that has everything I need like mark suggested in my other thread I think it was. I just haven't done enough research yet.

The other option is to use the pan for the Oil temp, drill and tap a hole for the oil pressure (per several write ups)on my FFOFH, and then use a sandwich adapter for the oil cooler.
