I have the project completed and thought I should share it.  I replaced the 8AN fittings in the German Tomforde  eng.  fitting with -10AN and then ran -10 or 5/8" hose to a Setrab oil temperature regulator which has huge ports. Then to a Setrab Series 6(mol 12" wide) 19 row oil cooler and back.  I used the -10 size because I measured the outlet from the as to be about .460" if I recall correctly and the typical -8 hose size is slightly smaller than that closer to 7/16" and I was trying to minimize pressure loss.  Since this all gets covered up with fiberglass body work the visual appearance is of no importance to me.  I would have preferred to mount the cooler horizontally, but the installation would have been much more difficult.due to possible interference with suspension components.  I did make the bracketing large enough to put in a larger 25 row cooler in necessary.  I am concerned about oil drain back  and calculated the additional oil requirement as 22 fl oz.  Picture included

    Thank you.     On replacing the carbs I had to turn the #4 air pod sideways to clear the hose.
