Oil coolers were all the rage over on the AC Cobra forum a few years back. Nobody was using T stats....and oil temps were getting way too low...like 160 F.
Oil being too cold is actually a very scary thing.

Please correct (or bash) me if I'm wrong, but don't the Mishimoto oil coolers come with a diverter/sandwich plate that contains a thermostat. I have one on my car, and I was under the impression that my oil temps would not be effected until they reached 180 - 200 degrees.
I used the Coyote kit on my '05GT and modded the bracket to fit. Oil temp gauge is not in place yet, but plans are in the works. Motor is out of the car right now, so I'm going to look at the lower grill mount option before everything goes back together.
That plate doesn't look like it could possibly contain a T-stat.
Its included in the sandwich adapter listed in the BOM for that kit.

I R dumB.
That's actually pretty damn cool.
WTH fitting can you get for a M20x1.5 though? How would you get that turned into a 10AN?
LOL you need to slow down and read. M20x1.5 is the thread for the oil filter...
1/8 NPT are the fitting sizes, see below.
I actually looks like a decent setup.
Mishimoto M22 X 1.5 Sandwich Plate with Rear-Mounted Thermostat
Model: MMOP-SPTRM22
Constructed from billet 6061 CNC-machined aluminum
Two 1/8" NPT ports for sensors, oil feeds, etc.
Built-in thermostat (185°F, 85°C)
Square O-ring design for superior sealing
M22 X 1.5 thread pitch fits numerous Ford and GM engines; see tech specs for specific details
Thermostat is interchangeable with alternate temperatures (160°F, 200°F) for additional fluid temperature regulation

That's a good bet, will still need an oil filter adapter plate for the line out/in fittings, however.
I can make different bracing (and probably more effective) to work with the Watts no problem. I have access to a full blown real deal chassis shop that does those stupid fast drag chassis.
I'm pretty confident that after the cage/bar is in there won't be any chassis issues that the subframe connectors or tunnel brace will solve.
I'm going to land down bars in the trunk area right behind the rear sets (which will be replaced with some sort of delete) and then tie the rear shock towers to them. Maybe more than tow down bars.
The front down bars will go all the way to the footwell (plated tied to "frame").
The hoop will have a cross bar and a diagonal bar.
It's going to be quite a bit stiffer. I'd bet at least as much as a coupe with no bar. That is a bullshit off the cuff wild guess though.
