Default Oil Cooler Question

I'm putting on a radiator/oil cooler combo that uses a block adapter over the old oil temp housing. There are two lines exposed when you pull off the oil temp sensor housing. Any idea which one (forward or aft) is the output line and which is the return?

Also if they didn't say in the instructions or they didn't send instructions, you want to feed the bottom oil cooler port. So first line goes from front engine port to oil cooler bottom port and the second line goes from the top oil cooler port to rear engine port.

Just wondering, whos radiator and block kit did you get?
