I have a Dan Olson that bolt to the block in place of the oil filter. Then the remote oil filter adaptor bolts to the cooler. Fits nice and tight to the motor. Easily fits inside 26" wide stringers. Water runs from the pump to the cooler then off to the motor.
Hey Chris - can you provide a part/model number for that cooler? Thanks!

Man, you guys baby those engines of yours. "don't hold her wide open for more than 30 seconds?". "2 minute wide open!!"
You should come river boat racing. I have held my 434ci wide open for 40 minute legs in some races. Then the next day, do it all over again! 500 miles is a marathon race. I've used this engine for 2 races and lots of running around. The leakdown and compression test says that it's in great shape. Your motors should last longer than you.
Oh ya, I run a 8 quart Dan Olsen pan and Steiger cooler and once the temp hits about 240 / 250, it stays there for the full leg.
