I haute wondered if there is an aftermarket part to colt on that would allow for this. Have done it with the transmission.

Yep. There are a couple ways to adapt one from the oil filter adapter

The 92-99 Bonneville had an external oil cooler option with a sandwich plate and hard lines. The oil filter adapter is in a different spot than your car though. If you can find one of those, it might work on your 00+ H-body oil pan and oil adapter. It'll definitely thread on, I've just never seen someone try to mount and route lines with that pan/adapter.

The other option is an oil filter relocation kit. I have this setup with -10AN line, a Mocal remote oil thermostat and an Earl's cooler.

why would you want/need this though? Do you plan on tracking the car?

For me in particular, because I'm running over 10.5:1 static CR.

For others, hot climate, towing, etc.
