Oil cooler question

Im in need of a oil cooler on my 87 GXL NA. i curently have one installed but its brackets have broken off and its holding on with just the lines. I just got the car a couple weeks ago and have only driven it to get it home. i wanna get it running properly before i really put it on the road. But the oil cooler itself is still working properly even though its all twisted up now. Im a little sceptical on buying an aftermarket since ive heard the oem's were pretty good. ive been searching for one, but to expand my search i want to know if there is any differance with the coolers from the 86-91 n/a or tll. Or if i can just find any one from the sec gen and be able to drop it in with no problems..... Or am i just wasting my time and should go with an after market. If so any reccomendations would be appreciated.

yea i would do that but the cooler itself is all twisted up its basically shaped as a V now. for some reason its still working good with no leaks. dont think i could bend it back straight enough for the brackets to fit in place
