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. |

I'm just going to tape the back side of the cooler for street use. If no ones mentiond it already the moroso pan kicks out pretty far and the factory cooler wont work but the LT4 cooler will clear. Ive been down this road in the past. I called Canton to let them know what works with their own pan. They didnt have any notes before Mine came with an LT4 oil cooler #10244123 the radiator I have has a coolant return to the adapter. This post has been edited by CamaroRick: Apr 17 2016, 06:09 AM |
