Default what are the solutions for the oil cooler on a 3b swap

For all who have a 3b swapped into their urq- what different solutions are there? I would like to use the urq oil cooler since it fits in the car better.

Thanks,
rick

Make new lines with AN fitting and adapters.

Default ^ Agreed

AN fittings will allow you to use any of a number of available coolers.

I am using a Setrab cooler.

Default Yep, I used an Earl's oil cooler in place of the Aux. Rad...

..with AN fittings and metric -> AN adapters at the oil filter housing. Should be doable for around $200-$250 in parts.

You could also buy Metric -> AN adapters for both the oil filter housing and the Stock cooler (or a 200q cooler) and then connect the two with AN hoses.

Rare as hens teeth. Not likely to find any more of those.
