So i'm sick of my stupid high oil temps when I drive it a little hard at all. So i'm going to piece together a kit and install it in a few weeks.

I have a few problems with normal oil adapters for the LSx, most have the oil presser bung and are way to thick if I ever want to run headers in the future. So I was planing on doing a relocation kit but then I came across the TPiS Oil adapter its less then an inch thick and will just fit with headers.

I still need to decide if I need a thermostat and what oil radiator I should go with. I'm open to suggestions

Some say you have to, some dont. I wont be, i'd hate to have a thermostat fail. Nothing oem comes with a thermostat so i'm sure you'll be ok.

Also setrab oil coolers are great, little expensive if you buy new but you can grab a good sized one off mustang boards when guys update their vortech kits. If not those, the ebay ones are just fine too.

I wasn't sure about the ebay ones they look a little cheap. I was also thinking about a copper core one. But i'll keep my eyes open.

Ive used them to good effect, setrab is the best you can buy but they are $$$

I get my fitting from Bonaco in Upland. They can also make up lines if you need them.

That looks more like a trans cooler. The engine oil cooler needs much bigger in/out lines so it can flow more oil through it. Have you looked at Summit Racing?

AN 10 fittings range from 3/8 to 3/4 so its on the smaller side of an AN 10. but ill keep looking.

I want something copper that doesn't cost lost of $$$
