Default Oil cooler

While im installing my new 5.3 i was looking at getting an oil cooler setup off a 6.0. What do you guys think about this and how much work is involved to get the lines to hook up correctally?

Just need the lines and the rad. with the built in oil cooler. The lines bolt to the ports above the oil filter.

I don't think any of the 28'' rad. add oil coolers. So if yours is the smaller one get the larger 34'' with the oil cooler it'll be worth it.

My 28" radiator has an engine oil cooler in the tank.

But the larger radiator is a nice upgrade.

Thanks guys for some reason i thought it was an additional cooler mounted right next to the power steering. Ive got the 28" and found a guy who does the installs but im pretty sure im just going to spend the extra money for a 34" and get electric fans at the same time.

It will be easy to do while installing the engine. I put mine on with the engine in place and was a bit of fun routing the lines but I got em in.
