3.5 oil cooler on 3.0?
k i got a quick question, IIRC the 3.5 oil cooler cant just bolt on to a 3.0, im working on a 3.0 right now as a temporary motor while i figure out what i want to do as far as a permanent motor is concerned.
Here is the issue my old 3.0 thermostat i have no idea where it is(and if i found it, its pretty fcuked from the blown HG on my other 3.0), i really dont feel like buying another one(im being super cheap ) so if there is just a simple bit of drilling i have to do on the back of the 3.0 head to get the oil cooler to work i will do it. Also i want to use that 3.5 Oil pan i had since i modified my CKPS to work with it.
If its complicated then i will just go buy the damn thermostat and CKPS

Why do you have to buy a new coolant tstat? Simply buy a rubber plug for the cooler outlet. Iv had a Z tstat since day one of my swap with that outlet plugged.

What benefit were you looking for? I cant think of any, other than warming up your oil on cold start. Once car is warm all it does is heat up your oil to near coolant temps. no good.
