If you killed the oil cooler, redesigned the left-hand tins to be less restrictive over cylinders 3 and 4, and then mounted a sizeable external oil cooler with a fan on it, you'd be golden. Plus, this would completely eliminate the pressure-controlled oil "thermostat," which often bypasses oil (notably heavier ones) around the cooler at higher cruising rpms. > I just figure that it would look super cool and no one else has done > it, but fuel injection is definately the best route.

You're welcome to try them out - e-bay is always a way to get rid of them :-). But, I'll betcha a beer at the invasion that if you try them, you'll get frustrated...
