I’m assuming it’s lhd. But if you look at the shape of the cooler it’s different from our my15-17 rhd cars. My understanding is that our cars use the same cooler as lhd cars but located in a different position on the end of a cast manifold. I might be wrong on that, not having a lhd car to compare with. Our coolers are more rectangular in shape and both water pipes exit on the same side.

That is LHD drive engine pictured. Definitely a different design oil cooler to the problamatic RHD coolers.

Looking at the new design above I’m wondering if this could sit between manifold and oil filter on the rhd mil. Then use a street fighter bypass manifold up where the rhd cooler fits to complete the oil circuit.

Unfortunately there is no room on the RHD Mustang to do this , therefore the reason Ford has re-located to the rear of the lh engine area via the manifold.

If memory serves its the elictric motor for the steering rack.
So the street fighter black alloy bit can bolt to the rhd stock oil manifold to remove the stock cooler and complete the oil pathway. Then you use a sandwich plate under the filter which pushes the filter out a little but not so far it just the steering rack. Then you need an oil cooler solution to plumb into the sandwich plate. You can use an air / oil cooler like the mmr one. Or you can use a liquid/oil one (just a better quality aftermarket one) and locate it in a more sensible place. E.g up front behind the radiator where it doesn’t get heat soak.
In Australia I guess the air/oil system makes good sense, but here in the UK I would opt for the liquid/oil solution to warm the oil faster from our lower ambient temps.

Very interested to see how Ford reacts to out of warranty issues when some journalist or consumer group ask the question

Our Streetfighter package includes all that you require and is a dedicated fit. It also includes a thermostat housed in the sandwich plate to ensure quick oil warm up times.
