Went vmount... where to put the oil cooler?
 
After going vmount on my FC ivedecided that the stock location for the oil cooler is going to block more air then let more through, does anyone have insight on how to reroute the stock one OR get an aftermarket oil cooler and lines? tried looking in the vmount threads and searching on google for about 2 weeks now and i cant find anything!

Here's how I did it:

I just did a front mount oil cooler back when I did my set-up in 2001.
Mounted low in the front grille half the air could go right over the oil cooler into the radiator, but I never had any issues with high oil temps racing or driving on the streets (I had an oil temp gauge).

I have seen others use FD or RX-8 style oil coolers in the brake duct area of the FC which should work fine too.
