Engine Oil Cooler Install

As mentioned above don't use a transmission cooler. Use a engine oil cooler. Far less restriction. I used a Remote filter mount kit which allowed me to not only put the filter in a very accessible place and away from header heat but I was also able to run lines to a cooler. I used AN fittings (if you ever have to take it back apart AN fittings are the way to go) and oversize hoses to help eliminate the restriction the fittings and hose produce. In the end I used 1/2" pipe (the size of the threads in the adapter) to -10 (5/8) AN adapter fittings and 5/8" hose and a B&M plate style oil cooler and an oil temperature thermostat so it didn't cool the oil all the time, just when it needed it. Worked out real good.

BTW: If your handy with a drill and thread tap you could drill and tap that Earl's sandwich plate to accept a gauge sender
