Getting ready to drop new motor with GT500 oil pan into our Mach1 which has the GT350 TR3160 trans with trans cooler. Appears the oil cooler lines will not play well with the GT500 oil pan wings or T pouches. Anybody run into this yet?

@honeybadger probably gave you the best answer that's available from the perspective of what works on a GT350. Don't be surprised if the Mach1 uses a bunch of different parts than the GT350 - front fascia is probably different, cooler location, size and shape probably different, plumbing routing probably different, etc. What's more, even though it's a TR3160 with the same gear ratios, there's no guarantee that some part of it (the location of the cooler fittings comes to mind) hasn't been changed to work in the Mach1 chassis.Getting ready to drop new motor with GT500 oil pan into our Mach1 which has the GT350 TR3160 trans with trans cooler.

Appreciate the thoughts. I do know that the trans cooler lines, cooler, and mounting hardware are straight from the GT350 parts bin, same part numbers. Actually much of cool bits on the Mach is GT350 / GT500.@honeybadger probably gave you the best answer that's available from the perspective of what works on a GT350.

Interesting - I tried to verify the PN's before I posted but the Ford Parts website is down so I couldn't. The dealer-based websites call up an MT82, so that wasn't helpful. In any case, good luck with getting it all to work!Appreciate the thoughts.
