85 Oil Cooler (Air vs Water) Conversion Question

I have the 13B Monster Oil to Air Cooler ready for install on my 85. Will it work on my 85 plumbed to the currently blocked passage. I have a racing beat oil filter conversion and the short stand filter mount from and earlier model, and all the plumbing to fit the new cooler.

Is it really that simple???

I figure the front motor outlet to the top inlet of the big cooler, and the rear motor passage to the side?

Please advise.

Thanks

It's been a while. The racing beat unit is only a block for temp and pressure senders and mounts to stock oilt filter stand, not a conversion kit as previously stated.

Do you know if it's O.K. to mount the oil cooler at say alternator height?

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your reply.
RB sells kits for remote oil filter setups as well.
Racing Beat Remote Oil Filter

But honestly, it could be any, doesn't have to be RB.

The Oil Cooler lines are High pressure, so mounting them at alternator height shouldn't be a problem.
