You don't have to remove the oil lines from the cooler. I then removed the mounting bracket from the block. I drilled and taped the mount with a 1/8 27 NPT tap. Drill in a place that wont weaken the bracket. I had to use a 90 degree elbow to allow the sending unit to clear. There is an 'O' ring between the oil cooler and mount. Chrysler does not show the part. It is exactly the size of an oil filter gasket. Hold it place with a dab of rubber cement to keep in place while mounting. A new mount to block gasket was $6.00. Sorry no pictures. It works beautiful.
Why is the sandwhich out of the question ? I have a 2.4 Turbo cruiser, and I installed an oil pressure gauge and sending unit (electronic) with no problem. All I did was went with a shorter oil filter. No big deal.
