external engine oil cooler parts [message #296639]

I'm preparing to do an engine rebuild quite soon so need to figure out
how to do an external oil cooler and exactly what parts are required.

I've searched the discussions here on the topic but haven't
found anything definite on the bypass question so far. Seems like
if there is a bypass with a 40 year old spring or such and you add an
even longer oil cooler path, you might have problems. So is there a
need or a way to fix the bypass to work with an external cooler?

Any consensus on adding a cooler with an integrated fan vs a passive cooler?

Also, just the simple plumbing question of how to get around
the radiator to an external cooler. I thought of getting longer
hard lines made so the ends reach closer to the back of the radiator,
and then using the existing flexible lines to the new cooler.
Has anybody here done that? Any other suggestions on how to accomplish
the task?

Any tips or suggestions on specific coolers or parts would also be appreciated.

thanks,
Karen
