Do you not have a Radiator rebuilder in your area?
Do you not have access to a junk yard?
Have you thought about buying a parts car :-D

Auto trans radiators have a trans cooler built into them. Some people have used that plus a sandwich plate to create an OEM like oil cooler.
Basically you get a sandwich adaptor that allows oil from the oil filter to circulate up to the trans cooler (which is bolted to the back of the radiator) and then it runs the oil back into your oil pan. It drops the oil filter down about 1".

The auto ones come with a tranny cooler I believe.
