Default Oil cooler on M44

I'm doing some research on the feasibility and cost of adding a little oil radiator on an M44. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!!!

EDIT: Actually my biggest concern is where to take the oil from and where to put it back after is cooler. Here's what I was thinking:
1) get the oil filter housing of an M42 which has the metal cap that was used on several 6 cylinder models. The gasket between the oil filter housing and the engine block has the same p/n as the M44, so my first guess would be it fits; however the M44 has a thing called "bush" which I can't really tell where it goes. Would like your idea on this point.
2) with the metal oil cap I should be able to use the Ireland Engineering oil cooler adapter.
3) get a radiator, oil lines, etc... Nothing too complex in this dept, at least it looks like.
What you think?
