[non-roc] 3A oil cooler or not?



How about running a aftermarket oil cooler sandwich plate with a cap on the
bottom of it.... then you just put a "remote" oil filter and then continue
the lines to the cooler.... You gotta have some room for a remote filter?
Possibly where the P.S. and washer fluid containers are.
I need a better look at the fox layout..... but I do know what you speaking
about.... I always thought that "slant" on the oil filter flange was a bit
odd.
HTH,
