If posible get a FC oil cooler (air/oil) they are newer and do not crack as offen. But you will need to get the RB adapters though. This is the setup that I did on my car works very well.

you do not need the adaptors if you snag the FC oil cooler lines.

So obviously if you get an FC oil cooler with hoses from the FC, the hoses will mount to the oil cooler no problem, but what about the other ends of the 2 hoses that match up to the engine? Is that the same threading and are they the correct length for an 85 GSL-SE front mounting (in front of the big tube bar on bottom, stock position for SE)? Or do we take those hoses (or a racing beat upgrade) to a tractor or hydraulic store store and have them re-threaded to fit?

How custom is the mounting of an FC oil cooler in an 85 GSL-SE stock location?
