Does anyone here run an engine oil cooler? If so how did you do it?
I am interested in seeing how it is done with a stock style oil pump.

Oh that is a neat idea. Does anyone have any pictures of that setup? (or any others)

I use the stock mopar oil cooler off a 88 gran fury cop car that had a sb,but have it on the 440 now also it hooks a line right to the oil sender passage with a hard line and fitting,then turns to high presure rubber hose,then back to a hard line has a tee for the carb choke relay and a stock oil sender to dash another high pressure hose/hardline with a flar fitting/bushing.short 1/4" steel nipple/pipe fitted to a hollow fuel pump bolt not sure about the mopar hollow fuel pump bolt,but you can still get the hoses at napa,I used some seel line and comp fittings to plumb it to fit the truck the cooler is a stacked plate style and is rather small looking,but disapates a lot of heat,this could be replaced with aftermarket and larger capacity the hollow bolt is the key to the hook up,I have only found it in the JY on cop cars from the mid 80s

has a tee for the carb chock relay and a stock oil sender to dash another high pressure hose/hardline with a flar fitting/bushing.short 1/4" steel nipple/pipe fitted to a hollow fuel pump bolt
not sure about the mopar hollow fuel pump bolt,but you can still get the hoses at napa,I used some seel line and comp fittings to plumb it to fit the truck
the cooler is a stacked plate style and is rather small looking,but disapates a lot of heat,this could be replaced with aftermarket and larger capacity

You wouldn't happen to be able to get a picture of the fuel pump bolt would you? If you could I would greatly appreciate it!

hollow bolt/pipe nipple/invert flare fitting stubs it out from behind the FP for the high pressure/hard line return its for longevity at sustained idle time lubing the fp ecentric,t-chain,lowering oil temps and oils at full psi in the heavy duty cooling package on cop cars whats funny is this 88 gran fury 318-4v cop engine had a windage tray and a 4 qrt car oil pan/90* oil filter adaptor but would take 5.5 qrts to read full when lines were flushed out with oil change
