I've plumbed in an oil cooler, removing the old water-cooled one. The stub ends of the radiator hoses feeding the stock cooler need to be plugged as I could not find a hose without these. I got lucky and found an aftermarket hose that was not pre-molded, but made up of sections of hose and plastic tees. A couple of 5/8" heater block-off caps from Pep Boys took care of the stubs.

Next time I'll remember to order the shorter threaded pipe, for the much thinner sandwich plate, ahead of time.

Have Fun,

those are the correct hoses to delete the factory heat exchanger. not too terribly expensive either. one less failure point to be had..
