Default Radiator w/oil cooler

Getting started on my 65 Mustang Vintage race car,doing body work and collecting parts.....Going to run a 331 stroker with alum. heads,solid roller cam,etc,etc......

Instead of running an oil cooler in front of the radiator I was thinking of a Griffin radiator with the oil cooler in the tank,similar to a radiator for a car with an automatic trans....

Anyone running a similar set-up??????? It would be a simple and clean install,just wondering how efficient it will be and how will it affect my water temp......Most Vintage racers running similar motors,but oil coolers in front of the radiator have no problems with overheating. One front running car I'm familar with runs a griffin radiator the size I was planning to run with the oil cooler in front and after a 10 to 15 lap race his water temp is still between 180 and 190..........
