says it will fit 11-14. And I believe that's the same as the S550 unit.

If you're talking about this, then it's a gamble if it fits or not.
The housing adaptors used in 2011-2014 and 2015+ are not cross-compatible, since the block has different oil pad machining and an additional passage (you can see more HERE). That being said, I've read online that the actual cooler-segment of the unit can be unscrewed from the housing adaptor. So, if it was possible to thread that onto the 11-14 housing adaptor it would work. Ford cocked the sensor in the housing to the side in the 2015+ engines, so that may be an interference fit when considering a Gen 1 housing with a Gen 2 integrated cooler. As far as a drop-in-install for a water-oil cooler is concerned, though, the Boss 302 style JDee mentioned would be much easier since it was designed with Gen 1 in mind.
