Oil Cooler Lines Hugging the Block 1

When using the headers it seemed to me that the oil cooler lines were close enough to the headers that the heat will transfer to the oil. making the cooler work harder. Putting it closer to the block will decrease some of the heat transfer. But That will cause a problem for the Block heater and the 454 1ton knock sensor threaded into the front drain port. Check out the bends in the metal line. (New Stainless braided oil cooler flex lines will connect to the radiator.


BIG NOTE!!! The key (rectangular Aluminum block) in this adaptor needs to be removed to clock the adaptor differently than factory.
