Oil cooler sizing

[forcefed86]

Looking to install and aftermarket oil cooler behind my driver side fog light area. Anyone have dimensions for a good fit? Or examples of an oil cooler used in this location?

There are several good threads on them, but here is what I used:

I believe it is about 4" x 7" x 2". I can't remember the name of the shop, but I found it on ebay for about $50.

But its slammed already.... WTF Why not use a black fmic, its much harder to see unless you know what your looking for.

As for an oil cooler, you dont need a huge one. I know a few locals that run stock sized ones with 450+ whp with no issues.

yea i know... the only reason why i installed it was because it was free...!!! and the fmi is gonna be far in the future... since i dont want to push it alot cause i want it to last...!!!!

Any draw backs to using -6 fittings and lines on an oil cooler? What doesn't make it in the cooler will just bypass correct?
