Oil Cooler (tons of info enclosed)

Just an update.
The Caprice PPV cooler will work with stock G8 exhaust manifolds but not with the ARH long tubes.

So... not for either of us.

The Camaro one is shaped different and may work but I'm not even gong to order it in since it is about 3x the cost of the PPV unit that is $180.00

Youch. So the stock LS3 in the Camaro gets an oil cooler? Huh. Did not know that.

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Yes it does.
12606576 - $435.00 (OK only 2.5x the PPV price)
Then you still need quick connect lines and fittings.

Do you have a P/N for the PPV oil cooler?

An update. I have fitted the Melling high volume pump, and a Comp double roller timing chain. Everything fits great. I had to grind on the timing cover a little. There is a bump on the inside of the timing cover where the bolt that holds the cam sensor goes in. This was touching the double roller.
Car now has slightly more oil pressure, and maybe it's my imagination, but I think the valvetrain is a little quieter.
Now I need to fit the oil cooler. Unfortunately I broke my shoulder mountain biking about a month ago, so can't go crawling under my car.

Thanks Greg. Is that for everything needed to fit it as well? Is this not a "traditional" cooler in that it has a heat exchanger up in front with the radiator?

No that is just the cooler that mounts to the oil pan/block and will not work with headers.
You will also need two coolent lines, a block fitting, and a upper radiator hose fitting.

Ah.... I see.. That Harrop one is looking pretty sweet!
