Greetings,
 
As I grind through the rev-2 details, I still need to come up with a place, for the oil cooler.  It will have to go on the bottom of the cowl, and I don't see any way to use the stock carb scoop that's already down there (only 7 cu in inlet), so I'll have to get rid of that, and come up with a new scoop.  Anyway, I was wondering what the ballpark size of the scoop should be. 
 
Each cowl cheek inlet is about 24 cu in, so logic would suggest that I start with the same size for oil cooler.  The cooler will likely be mounted very close to the cowl bottom (to get away from the exhaust pipe above) so the ducting will primarily be built into the scoop.  Any ballpark figures for the inlet will be appreciated. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty (lightened the motor mount today)
