Assembling a complete 71 oil cooler assembly will be hideously expensive, time consuming and a very invasive installation. There are many other/ better options if you want a external oil cooler.

Just look at a 71 911S and study the oil cooler. I'm pretty sure I know what your thoughts would be.

PS: I once traded a 71 911S thermostat and oil tank fittings and engine compartment lines to Mike Brunetto (owner of RD Skis) for a pair of custom made skis. It was a very good deal for both of us at the time. Now, not so much.

I have studies the parts/ diagrams in my parts book.
Also know there is a setup from Elephant racing for around $3k.
Also just missed an original cooler restored and certified by Pacific Oil Cooler Service for $600.
Looks like the hard pipes are same as 74-77 new from Porsche just under $1k for both .
Good used thermostat are not cheap either , but think all can be done in the $2500- $3,000 range.
Mocal also has some items .....

Interested in others who have done similar
Thanks

A 71 911S oil cooler set up has no parts whatsoever that will interchange with anything later. The lines go through the body (proved to be not such a good idea) and all the related parts are extremely hard to find. The Elephant Racing unit is great and designed to be added later. The 71 911S oil cooler was laid out at the factory and then they built the car around it. Good luck finding all the components in good shape for your price point.
