I have installed the oil cooler itself, sans plumbing and oil filter adapter. In my Venom/351W, there is not enough clearance to run a full size filter with the sandwich adapter. I am going to install a remote filter to remedy this problem. The Canton billet aluminum adapter has the extra input/output ports for the cooler machined right into it. Also, for anyone interested, the oil cooler cowling that Finish Line sells for use with the Mocal 16 row cooler on FFR cars will fit into a Venom with minor modifcations. You will need a riveting tool, a pair of tin shears and some extra aluminum flashing to do the job. A 1.5 inch strip of flashing rivetted along the top front of the cowling extends it to the right length to come up nicely to the edge of the fiberglass at the top of the lower opening. Also, you need to clip the bottom corners of the cowling. Thanks again to all who responded.
