Can someone please put a pic up on where the lines mount up to the housing, i know it does not matter which line goes where, i put my motor back in and forgot how they route, right now they are on there but they hang too low, if i go over a speed bump they will rip off, someone help me please
 
What about for a 90s engine, He has a 90s engine ( and I do too in which Im swapping in )

It has the air to oil , oil cooler which doesnt use any coolant routing through it at all I believe... ( Which I tihnk is safer, no need to worry about coolant getting into the oil from a malfunction or breakage. )

Ive never hooked up one before but its about to get hooked up with the engine, and Id like some pics or info on it before I do it also, ( not that i would need it but might as well get a head start ) Im guessing since its oil only to air, either line could go on either hole right? Since theres no coolant at all. And I want to mount mines on the little metal panel behind the driver side fog light hanging directly in front of the windsheild washer fluid . ( I dont want to use the factory oil cooler mounting area since Im going to have a big fmic there soon. )
Therefore its going to be more so infront of the driver side tire...

( Also who makes custom/ aftermarket performance oil coolers for air to oil coolers...?
Mines is all beaten up since it came from a old 90 and I was only going to use it temporarily until i could upgrade. )
Any links would be nice.
 
I use a B&M air-oil cooler running from a 90 filter housing. My lines have banjo fittings on the filter housing side and NPT barbed fittings on the oil cooler side. I have the oil send going to the bottom of the cooler so that it fills up fully and there won't be any air pockets.

Here is one of the links that helped me:

Do a search, there are a ton of threads.
 
so its saying if the hoses ends are facing down its bad because air bubbles get trapped in there and you want it where the ends of the hoses are facing upwards huh... Didnt know that, good to know im going to make sure I have them facing up.
 
I have my cooler mounted with both connectors facing to the side. Like I said above with the send line on the bottom and the return up top to keep air out.
