I have a 77 CJ7 with a 360 in Arizona. I pull a 2800lb camping trailer. Needless to say, I have a concern with engine tempsduring the Summer. When Climbing the engine temps reach 215. Oil Presure drops to 47lbs and RPM's @ 2800. I have a 4 row radiator and a 180* thermostat.
My question. Would an Oil Cooler help much? (a lot or a little) If an Oil cooler would help. Can you recommend a good cooler and the best way to may the conversion. Any help would be appreciated.
We sell a cooler kit for the AMC V8 that allows a remote filter housing and a a 12" cooler. Should make a good difference in your temps. You should also think about hood vents as well. I have also seen some shrouding put over the exhaust that diverts heat under the tub.

I have wrapped the Exhaust header and exhaust pipe back to the cats. It certainly helped lower the temp in the cab. I ordered a pair of Hood vents 13'X5' from Summit after reading the recommendation from an earlier post. It should arrive today.I will head to the E-store for an Oil Cooler Kit.
I purchase the Oil Cooler kit from Bulltear. I just noticed that my AMC Oil Filter (Wix 5125will not fit
. The Threads on my Oil filter are larger than the threads on the Oil Filter Relocation adapter
.
Did you ship the wrong adapter?
If this is the correct adapter. Can you recommend the Oil filter that fits?
Fram PH8A or equivalent fits that filter housing.

gold line is the same as wix, but all are made by wix.

Personally i didnt care for the wix on my heep.....itr would drain the oil back into the bottom end and took too long for oil pressure to build on start up.................my choice would be to go with Mobil 1 filters........and soon as the lil 304 fires pressure jumps right up! Seems the anti-drainback valve in the wix and fram dosen't hold as well as the Mobil filter.......anyone else run into this before?
