The  message below lead me to believe there might be a problem swapping the 
folded  fin oil cooler onto my 140... is that the case? I was previously under 
the  impression I could bolt the folded fin cooler on without any problems for 
more  effective cooling.  Please let me know as I have already purchased the  
folded fin cooler and will be installing it in a week or  two.

Thanks!

Ray,
There is no data or test results to show that the folded-fin oil cooler is  
superior to the 12-plate one. In fact, the Chev Engine Test Reports indicate  
just the opposite...that the 12-plate has the edge on the FF one. That,  plus 
the fact that the FF cooler requires frequent back-blowing to remove the  stuff 
that gets trapped going into the air passages. Keep your 12-plate!
Regards,
Bob Helt
