if i remember right isnt' stock -8? thats what i am using and used adapter fittings from aeroquip plumping to use a B&M hi-tek cooler. didnt' change the lines just fittings to adapt stock lines to the new cooler.i think that cooler was too much for daily driving and mild abuse.driving normal caused reeeeeealy low oil temps. like...it wouldnt' register the oil temp for 20 minutes of driving and more than 15 freeway minutes.for autoX i'd say its a bitchin' cooler! mine was a 28,000gvw cooler and i took it off because i drag race and use it as a daily driver.didnt' help me but i could sell it cheap....if anyone wants it....
