You can purchase a sandwich style oil cooler adapter with built in thermostat from B.A.T. in Florida, http://www.batinc.net/main.htm . They have sandwich types to fit Ford motors complete with 1/2 NPT female threads . I run one on my 351W and it seems to work quite well. It restricts oil flow through the cooler unless the oil temp exceeds 180*. It takes up no more room than the original oil cooler adapter plate. The thermostat merely replaces the bypass valve inside that large screw cap on the side of the adapter.
