Oil cooler for the engine or tranny? In either case it does not have one.....

Not needed for normal driving....

Most supercharged units came with an external cooler.

Take a gander around your local salvage yard for the appropriate plumbing, and even a cooler.

Easier to just get a universal external trans cooler kit and slap it in. Less hassle of looking for one and then it breaks after a week.
