FB oil cooler swap/upgrade?

My FB has a seeping oil cooler. I want to swap the beehive for a traditional oil-2-air cooler, like an SA style. How does the SA cooler route to the block? What do I need? If anybody is parting out an SA 12a, I need those parts!

You'll need a pedestal for the oil filter, two high pressure oil cooler hoses with correct fittings and some patience to do it right.

Respeed make a pedestal and probably have the oil lines also.
