Retro Fit 2.1 oil cooler to early van

Post by Robsey »

Hi All,

You are bound to ask, but yes I still haven't fully plumbed in my 2.1 wbx into my 1983 van.

I have read a few posts were people have retrofitted the oil cooler despite having the early cooling system in the van.

So a very simple question.
Has anyone got pictures or advice on how to achieve this?

I assume that I will need a later thermostat housing to plumb into

I am sure with some thought I could suss it out, but why re-invent the wheel if others have done it successfully already?

1987 Electrics and a DJ engine.
Maybe one day I might get it finished
