*** ECS Oil Cooler Adapter ***
The oil cooler adaptor (with provisions for stock oil temp sending unit machines into it) can be used for any type of oil cooler you wish to use, it comes complete with hardware and a new gasket.
We designed it to work with the Dewitts rad/oil cooler combo, but it is a universal adaptor so use it as you wish. It has also been tested with different headers so that is not a problem either.
The fittings are AN#10s and if your application needs additional 1/8th inch fittings (for a turbo etc) we can do that for you at no additional charge.
Price is $139.00

Why are you using -8's and not -10's?? Of all the reading I've done, I've always seen that they seem to have the best results with -10's.
Is it a space issue?
Looks like a beautifull piece though..

That's what the radiator will except without having to step down, plus the AN#8 is already larger than the passages in the block, so it's certainly not a restriction. If it was it would have taken out many road race engines that we have them on for a long time already.

Thanks Jeff,

I chose -8's for the same reasons plus the core tubing is no larger. I run two oil coolers (in-series) and don't see a pressure drop.That's a nice piece, btw..

I would like to have seen the oil temp sensor location be on the send side rather than the return side. That way you know the temp of the oil in the motor rather than how much the cooler has cooled it.
Nice machining though

BTW: What is the hole through the top for? Is it for extra support? That thing is getting pretty tall to be held on with just two tiny bolts.
Nice machine work on those male AN's!
By machining those in you saved $30 on adapters!

Perhaps this is a silly question, but how would you know if the cooler was cooling the oil if the sensor is on the send side?

1. If you need an oil cooler, and it is not cooling, the temperature of the oil coming out of the engine WILL indicate a problem!
2. If you REALLY need an oil cooler, and it is REALLY not cooling, the temperature of the oil coming out of the engine WILL indicate a problem REALLY quick!
