The unit you picture can also be had from canton products.
Setrab sells some units that go in the radiator hose and use just such
and adapter to do their cooling, watter to oil. Come in many sizes.
Ford crown vic police cruisers use the sandwich oil cooler in between
the filter and block, as well as the Cobra Mustangs.
Its not a big deal to have a custome adapter built to fit the GM
(Corvette/Z28/LT1) cooler on a ford motor...
To contact me direct you need to add my first initial to the
front of my last name in the e-mail addy.
