Fordboy's thread got me searching for oil coolers. I plan on doing a dummy non-functional one purely for aesthetics.
I have seen the fancy 10AN blue/red anodised fittings, but where can I get the radiator from? I don't like the FFR kit. Its has black fittings.
Ideally I'd like to buy in Canada.

I found one on eBay for about $50. Do a search on "16 ROW 10AN oil cooler". I bought mine from kospeed2008.
I bought the AN fittings and Braided line from a local Hotrod shop. Told them how long I needed (only extended beyond the Radiator aluminum about 1") and had them cut the Braided SS and install the AN fittings. (btw, the AN fittings and Braided SS were more expensive than the cooler :D)

Thanks MPT.
Did you make the aluminum cover?

No, that's the radiator aluminum that comes with the kit.
I have been thinking about forming a housing around the cooler though, but it will have to wait until I get the body back on and can take some measurements.

Got one from **********. Running the lines is easy once it's in position. Might as well just connect them.
