Whoa the oil filter bracket and oil cooler all come off the block in one piece?

I searched far-and-wide on Resources and each FSM for a 2F i could find and don't see any mention of the disassembly and install of the oil cooler for USA 2F
No, they don't.There are two assys that are installed. The cooler comes off as a separate part from the bracket.(see attch'd). The oil bracket assy is separate from the cooler assy. For those engines that came with a cooler, it is not possible to simply remove the cooler and plug the holes without some serious modifications to the bracket itself--or getting plugging bolts/washers to seal the cooler ports---(you might be able to scavange a set of cooler banjo bolts and add extra sealing to the internal holes and thicker washers to keep the oil from-1 bypassing the bolt holes/leaking from the bolt heads. --better to obtain an oiL bracket that was not designed to have an oil cooler(each is totally different)--the two are not interchangeable) as for connections. The refurbishment of the oil cooler(or it's removal/re-install is fairly straightforward, and prob was not included in the FSM due to the simple nature of the removal/install --my 2 cents---

Thx it really looked like I could take the four bolts off the oil filter bracket and remove the two hoses from the cooler and it would all come off together. I tried yesterday after removing the bracket bolts and it wouldn’t budge from the block. So I chickened out and put the bolts back lol. I’m doing a side cover gasket and don’t really need it off (would’ve been nice tho).
For that operation--yes you can take off the bracket bolts and the whole works comes off--what you will have is the whole assy off--the cooler itself bolts to the bracket with two larger banjo type bolts. If you wanted to remove only the cooler assy, those two bolts will separate the cooler from the bracket. If you wanted to reuse the original bracket, I think you would have to find a connector that would maintain the port connections---I may be wrong about this, but logically, there would be no oil flow path without the cooler installed--if there were, the cooler(being more flow restricted) would essentially have no flow anyway--oil would flow thru the least restrictive path in the bracket itself-given that, it would seem that there is no flow path for the oil without the cooler connected- so I think if you pulled off the cooler itself and plugged the cooler bolt holes, it would stop oil flow. So I think if you wanted the oil cooler gone, it would be better to find a filter bracket that was not designed for a cooler---I've seen this change on MUD before--just can't remember where--there were posts about this in the past, giving part nos. and yrs that had the non-cooler bracket------update to post, just found a few posts that indicate the 75-76 engines had the non-cooler bracket
Another option would be Toyota DIY site that lists the yrs and part nos.--link here: ToyoDIY.com - http://www.toyodiy.com/

For what it is worth, I eliminated the oil cooler on an 87 2F. This was accomplished by using my 5/76 accessories like the oil filter mount that has the pressure sensor attached, water pump, direct drive fan and thermostat mount which do not have the hose provisions needed for the cooler. Toyota parts interchange easily and bolt right up to the newer block. Other than a little more oil capacity, I never saw the need for the oil cooler during my engine swap and felt I could eliminate a few potential future leak points this way. Use the higher capacity filter if you want more oil. 18 years have passed since then, no issues or regrets yet.

Fancy resistor to make the stock gauge read correctly? Forgot about that one but figured it out for myself.i guess you don't like ENGINE WIRE No. 4 SUB. Assy ...............

no ,
but it does stabilize the TEMP. Spikes in the Sending unit
its the Black Rubber Insulator Cap for the Oil Pressure Sending Unit , and its Pigtail
i Reproduced it when i found out what a TRUE HERO it was back in the day ...
