Default Oil Cooler?

Is there any good way to put an Oil Cooler on an F body. Search didnt get me anywhere and i dont want to compromise the engine or get overly intricate.

yup. there are ports in the block located just above the oil filter.

If you google "ls oil cooler' you'll find some info. Also, maybe try a search in the road racing subforum.

outa curiosity, how hot is your oil getting?

I think the OP is asking where to mount the cooler.

Most mount their coolers in front of the AC condenser at the bottom.

Make sure you use the plate style cooler, not the type with a round tube running from side to side.

well the reason I bring it up and I am about to get a guage to check it but on a 75 degree day at idle hot I have about 35-38 psi. After i beat on the car a little bit I have still about 35-38 psi. However on a 90 degree day it will drop down to 25 psi or so just crusing around.
