Hey guys. I have some questions about oil coolers.

How do I plum to the engine? I'm using a sandwich adapter for oil pressure and temp. There are two unused ports in that adapter. Can I use those for the oil cooler? One of those ports would be for the supply, but where does the return go? It's an LT1 with a Moroso pan.

My other question is are there any problems with mounting the cooler above the engine in the hood scoop? I'm planning on securin the lines to the bottom of the hood and run them down the drivers side hinge then to the engine. I can't imagine there would be any problems with the location, but I thought I'd ask in case you guys know something I don't.

I'm not going to run a thermostat for the oil. I'm just going to tape the back side of the cooler for street use.

Obviously not thinking when I answered your post about the thread size, but the oil filter that you're currently using should determine which size fittings you need. The metric M18 x 1.5 PF52 type filter and UNS 13/16-16 PF454 type filter are not interchangeable so which ever one you're using would indicate what size threads your spin on oil filter adapter has. Hope this helps! Sorry if my response caused you to order extra parts!

No it's ok, I'll just return what I don't need. I know I'm using the oil filter for a 97 LT1 Camaro according to the book at autozone. But I've got no idea what the threads are. Guess we'll find out on Tuesday.
