That's exactly why I plan to run a heat exchanger just due to a packaging problem. I really like that radiator, it looks nice.
I found what DSE found.. that the water based oil cooler is good, but not as good as an air based cooler (unless you're NASCAR and running a HUGE cooler and radiator). Nevertheless, it will be fine for Track Rat. This way I will be able to run a larger cooler on the passenger's side to try and move some weight around a bit. We will pass through the new firewall using bulkhead fittings and hardline to and from the cooler.

Looking at this:
