I need a new oil cooler...suggestions?
 
Stock oilcooler on my old 454 looks destroyed. I need a new one, doesn't have to be fancy. Anybody have recommendations?

Here='s the replacement I was looking at unless there is something better???

I saw those yesterday. They got a tandem/combo power steering cooler to for $550. Hardin wants 605. I'll give Mr. Cool a try. Thanks!

I bought a Mr cool factory replacement for my 496. It was not nearly as robust as the mercury one. The fittings were also in the wrong location. I sent it back and bought a mercury.

Where is this build? How much boost are you running and what blower?
Also, I have used Mr Cool 3"x18" oil coolers for the last 16 yrs with no issues ~600HP. Good product and great service.
