Folks,

The build up on my BBO is finally coming to fruition.  Diamond custom 11.88:1 slugs, Eagle H-beam 6.735 rods, fully worked pro-comp heads, Edelbrock Victor w/ 1050 DOminator up top, and the list goes on and on.  I'm still in the midst of milling and slathering in the new stringers for this boat ('75 Glastron CV21).

My question or rather poll is, where would you place your oil temp sensor on this critter?  In the oil pan (10qt) w/ a welded in bung?  Up by the oil pressure sensor on a "T" with the pressure sensor, or tapped into the returning from the cooler (cooled) oil line feeding into the engines pressure circuit, as this is what the engine is acutally using?  I'm kinda leaninng toward the oil cooler line circuit.........what do you folks think?

My only concern with in the pan is that it after it has pulled the heat from the engine, and is not the temp of the oil that it has pressurized in its veins, per say.

The absolute best place to take an oil temperature is on the oil filter adapter or the pan.

The oil temperature (for the most part) is pretty homongenous and will be rather consistent throughout the system.

Like GT said- once up to operating temp the whole system is relatively close within a few degrees. That being said, I would  put the sensor in the easiest accessible spot.
