So my little 4.3 in my 88 doesn’t have an oil cooler from the factory. As I am stabbing a motor anyways (and quite possibly swapping grill if all goes right) I’m going to go ahead and add one. On my old shovelhead Harley I have an oil cooler thermostat that bypasses the oil back to the filter and doesn’t go through the cooler until the oil reaches 180 degrees. Would using the same setup be beneficial for engine warm up? I mean I can see no down side to the oil following the factory path but about 12” longer until it warms up and starts going into the cooler.
