I got a guy with a parts car (2nd gen) with a good oil/air cooler. Can you take the lines & stuff off it and install it on my 95 w/ old style cooler? If not, what specifically will I need to bring to him for this to work (hopefully in one trip to his house). I assume some of you guys have done this.
Thanks again for all your great assistance!

 

Oops, did it again...85, not 95.

 

What do you mean by "old style"?

 

You need an oil filter pedestal off an air/oil cooler engine as well.

 

i don't see why not,,you may need to fab. some mounting brackets

 

Yeah, I bent two 3'' pieces of flat bar into an L and drilled 3 holes each. Fit really well. I had to drill a hole in the radiator support, for the upper line to pass through.

 

What about the 2nd gentration oil lines, will they bolt up to where the water/oil cooler was, or do I need new lines/fittings. If so, got sizes in mind? Thanks.

 

The 2nd gen (or pre 83) oil filter pedestal deletes the water/oil cooler. The front oil line goes on fine. The rear housing has a plug (since the water/oil cooler returns its oil a different way) instead of a banjo bolt. Take a banjo bolt and crush washers off the water/oil cooler and use it where the plug in the rear housing is, for the second gen line.
