I have a 2012 GT500 and I am converting the oil cooler to the track pack version with a dedicated oil cooler.
I have the old water/oil cooler loose but not sure how to get it out.
The alternator and radiator support has been removed.

To anyone who has done this before: Is there anything else I need to remove /loosen to get the old one out and new on in?

If I remember right one of the bolts above where the oil filter goes was a pain to get out with the header in. I just ended cutting the bolt head off.

It was a major pain in the A$$ to get this in with the engine in.
DO NOT believe anyone that tells you it wasn't that bad.

Had to remove the motor mounts raise the engine up, drop the sway bar, and remove radiator support to get enough room to get this in.

The parts needed are:
Performance Pack air/oil cooler adapter plate (replaces your air - water cooler)
10' of 10AN line and fittings
Air to oil external cooler


I mounted the cooler in front of the radiator and ran the lines down the side of the radiator support and under the engine.
