I use a Derale cooler in my XB and had one in my first stagea. Decent bit of kit, especially for the price. Also ran the remote filter (which was a permacool item) and seemed to work well - one for the engine, one for the transmission oil.
Come in heaps of sizes too bwud.

as big as you can fit haha

just dont block too much flow to your radiator etc. Air that has just gone through an oild cooler isnt as effective at bring down water temps as it passes through your radiator fins.

dw im placing the oil cooler off to the side so it should affect the radiator much if at all

PWR do some really good oil cooling kits with an attached fan, think Permacool do as well?
