I don't think you would see much benefit from using the radiator for an oil cooler, if you are going to go to the effort of plumbing in an engine oil cooler I would just use an aftermarket one.
You want the engine oil temperature to come up quickly, the advantage to using a cooler in the radiator is that your engine thermostat will help that along. I am plumbing an external air cooled oil cooler on my car but it has a 205F thermostat that bypasses 90% of the flow when the temperature is below 205F and has its own electric fan that has a 205F switch as well. The 10% that runs through the cooler at low temperatures to to help keep the temperature of the oil in that loop about the same as the main loop so when the switch occurs it doesn't pass a slug of cold oil into the engine.I don't think you would see much benefit from using the radiator for an oil cooler, if you are going to go to the effort of plumbing in an engine oil cooler I would just use an aftermarket one.
Sorry but did I see in your spreadsheet that you paid $600 for a shifter?Here is a picture of the Dodge shifter. Pretty standard on the console cars versus the turn dial. This flips over to side and then you shift like a manual it's 8 gears and ZF shift is 150ms. I doubt other than maybe a road course or parking lot fun/drag race that you would use this. I have had 5 cars with this style it's familiar to me. Pretty sure they have an aftermarket knob top for it or will eventually.
Here is the upper hoop removed and I had zero movement cross brace lines right up no fear the hoop replacement is going back in will not stay this way. Then comes the tunnel mods. FYI this was not even touching if you look closely other pictures since I stripped floor and sprayed it freaking moved. I am glad I am doing this my car was twisting no doubt in my mind. Noticed other things and was told that's the cause higher HP I also snapped to rear shocks at around 5 rpm 1st to second. I shared those older post thought oh bad shock nah other bad things. That will also be addressed before it breaks a drivers leaf spring again as this car has before I received the car that way.....

Its the factory 8hp shifter both top and bottom. Used are mostly from wrecked cars and stuck in rain electronics has to be an 8Hp unit. It's the Challenger or TRX style can flip to manual shift. I could have saved cash but I hate the dial shifter.Sorry but did I see in your spreadsheet that you paid $600 for a shifter?
I just grabbed one from ebay.. Was clean looking and had a guarantee for cheap. I understand where you're coming from tho.Its the factory 8hp shifter both top and bottom.
