Radiator and oil cooler info

[Terry Miller]

Trying to reduce weight in my Datsun Z car by replacing my large radiator with an oil heat exchanger, (26" x 19") and the extra metal gaurd for protecting the lower portion of the radiator. Any ideas on how to figer needs for a radiator and an external oil cooler?

Almost every Z car breakdown I've seen at the track was cooling related. I'd put the biggest freakin radiator you can get in there.
But that's just me.

How many pounds required to get to your class/transmission limit? :think:

Wheel weight?

Windshield weight?

What material are your fenders, hood/spoiler, deck lid?

Control arm weight?

Driver height/weigh? :wink:

A driver can't do much about his/her height.

I guess that I could lose a few pounds.
