You should convert to doghouse. (if it isnt already). Thats it. Theres not enough airflow anwhere for an external oil cooler.
make sure you have all your tin. A rule of thumb for stock motors is you should not be able to see the ground while looking under the decklid. |

| I'm already in the dog house... what about these things that bolt-on (I guess to the bottom) that add a quart or so to your total? Is that a gimic, etc? And... What should my running temp be between to start with? |

If your engine is stock, then your best bet is to keep the cooling system stock and keep the engine in tune. You won't overheat if these two things are met.

| it wouldnt hurt to put a sump, but you wont see much (if any) change in temp. |

The most economical way to upgrade your cooling system is to leave it alone. A totally stock engine requires no modifications to the cooling system.
When you ask temps, does that mean you have a temp guage? Where's the sending unit? |
