Has anyone installed an oil cooler in the battery tray/hell hole area?? I was looking at this area and thinking that if the battery is relocated this spot could be used for an oil cooler/fan combo with the hot air being spent into the passenger side wheel well. Keeps the oil lines close and keeps both trunks unaltered (except for relocated battery!). I don't know how much ambient flow would occur with this installation, but a fan(s) should be able to push enough air??

Here's a really quick and really bad photoshop pic of what I mean:




My apologies to whomever I stole the hell hole pic from....it's not easy being green (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

correct me if I'm wrong, but if you are going to put a scoop in the body to make the oil cooler work in the hell hole... isn't that MORE cutting and noticable than the front trunk?

I've seen guys mount radiators(larger than oil coolers) in the front trunk without HUGE cuts... and the fron trunk can be repaired fairly easily if you want to go back...
