Having had those sandwich oil coolers fail on a 1996 4.6 Cobra 4V engine, I’m no longer keen on using that particular cooler design as it put coolant straight to the oil when the cooler failed.  My ’86 Ford Pickup with a 460 came with an externally mounted oil cooler which worked fine until the cooler itself sprung a leak.  Nothing but an oil pool under the truck in that instance.  That ’86 truck had an oil filter adapter that bolted to block where the original oil filter screwed in place for the oil cooler lines to attach to.  The oil filter then screwed onto the adapter at a new angle which could be turned depending upon how the adapter was tightened down.  Used on a Y, this could potentially allow the filter to be placed in a vertical postion like on an FE in a car while at the same time lowering the filter.

I think the PI Fords in the 80's and 90's had a sandwich oil cooler. Engine coolant was routed to the sandwich cooler rather than routing the oil away from the engine.

You could also do like I am going to do mine.



I have a remote oil filter adapter that came off an OMC 460 marine engine that I pulled out of my boat a few years ago.



I'll remote the oil filter to a place where I can mount it vertically and I'll just put a standard oil cooler in series with it like it was with the 460.





Regards,





Rick
