Post Home built oil cooler

Hey guys, This might be a stupid question but Im gonna ask anyway. I was sitting at work (very slow day) playing with a heater core that I replaced from a toyota tacoma just last week. I started to think about my P-car project and how I need a external oil cooler. Then I was like wow this heater core is just a perfect size and has very easy connections. The only thing I noticed is that it seems to be all brass. So my question is could you make a oil cooler out of a heater core? My only 2 concers are that its made out of brass and may be too weak to hold the oil pressure and the second thing is I dont know how well the oil will flow in the heatercore since it is made for coolant not thick oil. Any ideas?


Thanx
