Great source for thermostatically controlled oil bypass:

If cannot package (due to headers, frame, no LS engine...), can use this:

Having oil-to-water heat exchanger also helps warm up the oil after cold start, but still recommend having t-stat to control flow until desired temps are reached.
Nice feature on all these type bypasses is they never block flow to cooler, just open a 'bypass' to allow oil to return to engine prior to reaching temp set point. This allows some flow to always occur through cooler, so by time temp point reached and bypass is closed, not hitting engine with a slug of cold oil.
