Mishimoto 19-Row Oil Cooler Kit for Fox Body Mustang 1979-1993

Description

The Mishimoto MMOC-MUS-79BK is a direct-fit, black-finished 19-row oil cooler kit engineered specifically for the Fox Body Ford Mustang. Built around a large bar-and-plate performance core that mounts in the front bumper for maximum airflow, this Mishimoto oil cooler kit is designed to combat the heat that naturally-aspirated, turbocharged, and supercharged Fox Body builds generate under the hood.

Unwanted underhood heat accelerates oil breakdown and speeds up engine wear, so keeping oil temperatures in check is critical for a lightweight, powerful chassis like the Fox Body Mustang. This Mishimoto cooler uses a bar-and-plate core construction rated for performance duty, paired with -10AN male flare inlet and outlet fittings on both the cooler and sandwich plate, to deliver a dramatic temperature drop with minimal pressure loss. The kit adds more than .5 qt to total oil capacity and is available with a thermostatic sandwich plate option for added oil temperature control, though this particular black, non-thermostatic version installs in under an hour, with the complete kit fitting in less than two hours from start to finish.
