Just go to the towing section of the store where all their towing accessories  
are and you will see three different size universal transmission oil coolers.

You can use one of them. They are quite large and quite cheap.

Isn’t it better to use an actuall engine oil cooler rather then a tranny oil cooler?

Considering both fluids use very different viscosity numbers and that could  
potentially lead to poor cooling. :dunno:

It shouldn’t matter at all. All it is, is something to increase surface area in a material that transfers heat better for more efficent cooling.

oh jacky, are you going to do it the crazy VIP style? with the tubes leading out to the front of the car for some midevil styling.

I’ve read something about Ford V8 sandwich adapters working. Google it  
up or look up on other 240sx forums (see our FAQ section for Important Links).
