Engine oil cooler question
Where do you hook up the engine oil cooler at the water pump? I dont have anywhere to hook it up from the waterpump I might have the wrong one or does it go somewhere else?

You can hook one hose into the bottom of the block (drain hole), and tee the other into the outlet side of the heater core (the hose that would go to the top of the water pump on a carbed car).
What are you putting this on?

It is a 87 Corvette motor swap in a 86 Iroc and the vette had the tube go to the water pump so im trying to figure out where to put it. Their is the one that goes to the side of the block then i have the one that runs under the oil pan to go to the water pump but im not using the vette water pump so i need to know where to put it

I have the same one, and just tee'd it into a heater hose. If yours has a return hose to the radiator on the pass. side, you can tee it into that one.

Ok Now I get it. Sorry I was thinking of a differnt style of oil cooler. The kind that ran oil through those lines. Sorry yes you just need to tee into the heater core lines.
