Question on 73 911s oil lines and cooler

[turbo993]

Where do I source the best original style oil lines and cooler for my 73 911s. As far as I can tell my car was never equipped with a factory fender mounted oil cooler/lines. Don't want to take chances with my 2.8 rs spec motor.

Thanks.

Elephant Racing makes some nice finned lines. Not original, but likely better for your 2.8 motor.

I don't know where you live, but the original loop cooler will not be sufficient for a 2.8.
Elephant has good quality products won't be original but should work better. The 73 had unique hard lines and thermostat position.

The stock oil lines and thermostat can be purchased from Porsche. Late radiator cooler and shroud can be used. Must relocate cooler mounting points and modify shroud depending on your tire and wheel selection. Jerry

Here are some pictures of a cooler install I did on a 73. You use the 74 and up thermostat location.

Or you could go with all '73 hardware and use a '72 cooler and grill.

I just happen to know where you can get all of the parts.

Unfortunately it's about 4 times the amount of dough as Ed's option.

My set up is a combination of Ed's and Frank's... '72 cooler (one year only - unobtainium) and shield, and later '74 and up lines and thermostat.

Here is a stock 73 front oil cooler system that ends with a late radiator cooler. Pics also show some of the details nessary to have a proper finish. Jerry
