Oil cooler location question, ya or na Options

[skline]

914 with 2.6 liter big 4, 1971 914. Just installed the engine back in the car after redoing the heads on it. The oil cooler was mounted under the trunk above the heat exchangers. I didnt feel that was really a good location for it since the heat from the exchangers rises directly up to the oil cooler. I have decided to mount it in front of the cooling fan on the front of the engine, has anyone ever done this before? I know the air being drawn in to the engine will pull cool air through the cooler thereby giving it plenty of air flow. Do you think this will work? I know the 911's have a cooler mounted on the engine lid above the engine so I was thinking this would work the same way. The other option would be to try to mount it to the engine lid in a similar fashion. I just wanted to get some feedback on this and see if anyone else thinks this will work. I have not mounted it yet and was hoping for some input before I do it later this morning.
