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. |

This is what I'm dealing with. I'm screwing my oil filter directly to that. I'm using an oil filter for a 97 LT1. Mobile 1 M-111, for example. |

Looked up your vehicle and dang if it isn't the same filter recommended for your Camaro. (My '93 LT1 Vette used a Mobil 1-201 oil filter.) Who would of thought that Chevy would use two different filters on the LT1 engine? Anyway, it solves the adapter mystery. You need a sandwich adapter that works with 13/16-16 threads. |

Well I got the correct thread pitch, but it's too small of a diameter. I'll call canton and see if they have the larger one with the correct pitch. |
