This is related to the oil cooler poll that I posted earlier in here..

I just replaced my radiator with a 3core from jeepradiators.com, and it has tranny cooler hookup lines. My question is: Can i use the tranny cooler as an engine oil cooler? Will the integral tranny cooler withstand the pressure of the oil system (80psi+ at times) without blowing a line or leaking into the water jackets of the radiator? Of course, steel braided lines are in order for this. as well as a thermostat.

I wouldn't. The fitting & tube size of your average tranny cooler is significantly smaller than that of your average oil cooler. As a result it would be too much of a restriction to flow.

Minimum 1/2" ID hose for an oil cooler.
