Would a cooler like this work in the front, of a 6-conversion? Options

[JmuRiz]

I was wondering if an oil cooler like this one would work as a front oil cooler of a 2.7 6 conversion.

What are your thoughts? BTW it's a Behr from an old Mercedes.

I saw this picture in the sandbox, looks like someone did some custom work on an LE front valance to install a cooler like the one I posted at the start of this thread.

Doesn't look as low as the RSR cooler, but may be a solution for front oil cooling w/o cutting up the front trunk.
What are your thoughts?

As long as the nay-sayers don't jump you with lines about hitting curbs or objects in the road, it would work fine.

In the late '70s I worked on a 914/6 race team. The stock front valence was pulled down and out, stretched, braced and the oil cooler was installed behind it ... no cutting of the car. It was only a problem when the driver hit a cone at Holtville and broke the AN fitting ... 13 quarts of Castrol R on the track.
