Re: transmission oil coolant lines

I don't have any photos of the transmission lines at the moment but for someone that does they will need to know if you have the late 54 Gearstart Ultra or the conventional Ultra. If there is a question on which you have, Gearstarts have a dot between N and D on the shift quadrant and regulars do not. Believe the difference is Gearstart lines will be on the passenger side while regular Ultras are on the drivers side.
Here is a photo of the oil filter routing on a 356. The 359 routing is essentially identical but IIRC, the 359 block fitting above the oil pan going into the crankcase is a bit more forward. The 359 should have had a factory filter but just in case the canister has been acquired from an earlier engine, check your filter canister for input and output labels. Some older canisters have the ports opposite with inlet on the bottom. The later filters have the input on the side.
Oil is taken from a 4 way fitting on the lower side port of engine and goes to the inlet port on the side of the filter. Exits the bottom filter port and goes to the vertical fitting low on block just above the oil pan. Check the 4 way fitting and also the elbows on the canister to verify the tubing holes are identical in size. If they are not, the smaller hole(s) goes on the tubing feeding the input to the filter.
