You really don't need an oil cooler unless you are running at the track. The only valid reason for having an oil cooler on the street is for the "original" look. If you do choose to install an oil cooler be sure to run a thermostat in the oil line to prevent the oil from running too cool. Sandwich style adapters from Mocal fit between the oil filter boss on the block and the oil filter, provide the thermostat control needed, and provide 1/2" NPT female fittings for the oil line fittings. Use AN -10 braided hose and appropriate fittings to plumb the oil lines. You can see the adapter in photo #1 between the block and filter. The adapter adds 1" to the installed filter length.
