This cooler on my son's Nova is definetly an aftermarket addition. It didn't come from the factory that way. I was just wondering since the engine seemed to run hot, if the previous owner had a concern about the oil getting too hot. From what most replies say getting the oil to the right high temperature is the challenge not cooling it off. Your right about it looking like a mess. An adapter is mounted on the block, hoses run from the adapter to the cooling coil, then to the filter and back to the engine. Rubber hose heaven. [/QUOTE

Go ahead and hook it up, I'll bet you you'll blow the motor up from a leak before you blow it up from the oil being to hot. cool your motor and the oil will take care of itself.
