OK, so I have a friend that used to have a 427 Cobra that is telling me I need to install an
oil cooler thermostat, and some other times on my newly built CSX 7972, which has the Shelby Engines 331 with Webers. He claims the
oil cooler is too efficient and the
oil will never get hot enough, so a thermostat (180 degree) is needed in the line. He also says a pre-oiler sump pump injector should be used to get the engine oiled up before starting, and that I need a return line from the back end of the fuel rail to the gas tank to keep it from vapor locking. None of these things were talked about when the car was built, so is any of this really necessary on a 289 street car that will never be raced or tracked? Thanks for any opinions.
