BBird oil cooler

Anyone know if it is possible to fit the blackbird oil cooler kit onto a blade (94'??Does the oil run to the cooler via a take-off adaptor under the oil filter??

Cheers

The blade has an inbuilt oil cooler in it anyway, the bit the oil filter bolts to is an oil cooler cooled by the engine coolant, so I doubt that the blackbird one will fit on top of that, but Ive never seen it to be perfectly honest.
The only way I know of to fit an external air/oil cooler, is to fit a sandwich plate between the filter (from Think Automotive amongst others) and plumb this into a proper oil cooler radiator.

I know about the liquid/liquid cooler, I want to take it off and replace with a different take-off plate and air/liquid cooler.

Ah OK, I know of people that have taken them off to fit after market oil coolers, but never heard of anyone fitting the blackbird one.
