Default transmission /oil cooler ??

Hello All,

I'm looking at a transmission cooler which is longer than my oil cooler, what is the differnce between the two for cooling. Can you use a tranny cooler for engine oil ? I need a larger cooler than my stock 13 inch oil cooler does anyone know where I can find on with NPT fittings.

I have no transmission , I need a larger engine oil cooler. I found a 17 inch tranny cooler but not sure if I can use it for engine oil cooling. I have not seen the tranny cooler,not sure if its the same as a mercruiser power steering cooler .
