Oil Cooler

I found this to be interesting.

How to install a cheap oil cooler. This particular one is a Coolant to oil heat exchanger.
This should work with our sixes, since it works with a MotorCraft FL-1 filter.

A cheap trick ........or secret....is Ford's Factory Oil Coolers that they put on all 2.3 Turbo motors. They were also found on the Police Mustang 5.0's. If you go to a junkyard and find a Turbo Coupe T-bird or Merkur XR4ti it will have a cooler on them.

yeah I have a couple of those around. will put the filter close to the frame rail though. they are about 2" thick or so. has two 5/8" heater hose outlets on the same side. would be real easy to get a little U shape bend to loop off the water pump to the cooler and then run a new heater line (would prob need to be a couple inches longer)

I am looking at a large front mount I picked up cheap along with a remotoe filter setup (all in -10) it will allow a stock sized filter to be ran

if you need a shorty filter there is a fl-300 (I think) that is shorter
