The current thought is to install a modified Mazda RX7 cooler in the front of my GT style conversion.
I bought a cooler off Ebay, for 10 bucks and it showed up on my doorstep today. I must say I'm quite impressed with the quality of the part. It's welded aluminum and the craftsmanship appears to be on par with German Behr parts.
I shot a bunch of pictures and thought they might be of interest to some on the list.
Here's an overall view:

I've now seen 3 different variations of that cooler. Mine has the exits out the side. That bottom hole is plugged.

I took some threaded aluminum rod and welded them to an aluminum plate which I welded across the top attached to both ends. The rods go through the holes in the factory GT shroud. Looks like a factory cooler.
