Please let me know. thanks. also if the pic shows up to big let me know ill try to fix it

 

External oil cooler.

 

thank you Bob Gervais

 

Anytime! Good luck with the swap.

 

if youre not towing heavy you could delete that and use a taller oil filter to retain capacity (if space allows). ive never been a huge fan of oil coolers, but are one more thing to go wrong/configure in a swap. they do have their place, however, if you will be towing heavy loads for long distances, any cooling helps. for daily driving, unloaded street rippin, or even drag strip use, its not going to do much.
