Mid- late- 80s trucks and vans with 460 engines. I think it'll also work on Windsor and Cleveland motors as long as it fits your chasis.

The 2.3Ts did come with coolers, but they are just a simple sandwich style. That truck cooler might free up some room for a bigger filter in the Fox3s, though.

The part in this thread is not an oil cooler.
It is a diverter.
It allows the install of an oil cooler, but is not the cooler itself.

The sandwich coolers aren't that scarce. The water/oil versions are used on a lot of cars, including Turbo Coupes and LTD II (Fox chasis) cop cars. If they're new, I'd say they're worth around $50-60. I have around 20 used ones that I can't seem to give away. The one in that last picture is also a cop car part. It's for air/oil cooler setups. Ive seen them in full size LTD cop cars. I have a few of those in used condition also. I sell them for about $25. I really don't think it;s a Cobra "R" part, but I'm not sure. I haven't seen an "R" in so long, I don't remember what the adapter looks like. I'd say a new one of these should be worth around $75. Check PPI (Performance Parts, Inc) to get a better idea on the value.

What is the part number?

Look around at someplace like Summit and see what the oil diverters for coolers go for. That will give you a general idea, although it will be retail price. You will rarely get retail value for something in a private sale.

If it is a part that is specific for a low production vehicle, it could have more value. But you have to find just the right buyer... And with so few cars sold, most will have the part still on it.
