How about an Audi 5000 oil cooler system?  Basically it is a sandwhich that
goes between the filter and filter housing that is therostatically
controlled so you are not cooling cold oil.  Seen some we side that did
this on a T2 - looked like a nice and cheap solution as there are a lot of
dead 5000s out there.
