P30 Oil Cooler Leak
Is anyone familiar with how to properly seal up the oil cooler adapters on the 454. It appears to be stock - I'm referring to the adapter that gets installed between the block and the oil filter. Line...

Did you put any sealant on the threads before installing?
Did you get the correct adapter into the right hole? There is a difference between them.
Did you get new adapters or use the old? Replace the O-rings?
New o-ring and gasket yes. It's the right adapter and the lines at the adapter weren't removed - just those at the cooler (I swapped the hard lines and adapter to the new engine all in one piece).
I wiped everything down and started it up. It seems that biggest leak is at the oil cooler "sandwich" adapter. The oil pressure switch is leaking, too, but to a lesser extent. I have another one around here somewhere.
Sealant on the threads is a good point. I did not put sealant on the threads.
