Aftermarket oil cooler setup?

I am trying to piece together what parts I would need to put in an aftermarket oil cooler. Temps get hot on a road course in the summer and that's just gonna get worse now that I have a SC sitting on top.

I am not sure all that I would need. For starters, a temp-controlled cooler adapter:

Anyone tried something like that with Dynatech headers in place? I remember reading that clearance can be a problem.

Some hose, obviously.

And an actual oil cooler. JusticePete suggests anything that is -12AN, but I am trying to figure out specific models that would fit behind the grille. There are a lot of possible options. Has anyone actually installed one? If so, what brand and model? Did you buy mounting brackets with it? If so, what part # on the bracket?

Here's one that is pretty low and wide, (4" high, 2" deep, 15" wide) but I'm not sure where it would bolt to or whether it would even fit behind the grille.

Any input from people who have actually bought specific ones and installed 'em?

Thanks!

Pete
