Advice on Front Oil Cooler????

Hi guys,

I need to replace a front oil cooler on my 80 turbo project that I'm backdating to a '75 RSR look. I just purchased a GT Classics front RSR bumper and airdam and it won't fit over my oil cooler. It's a great cooler (don't know the brand, was on the car when I bought it) but it is way too long (wide) it is 27.5" long and the opening on the spoiler is only 24".

So the edges of the cooler opening hit the face of the oil cooler and won't allow the spoiler/bumper unit to line up correctly. also, the oil lines come straight out and interfere with the brake duct openings.

The only aftermarket oil cooler I've found is the B&B. Looks nice and looks like it will fit...but...$1100!!!! Ouch!

any others on the market?

Thanks,
John
