Subject: Oil cooler radiators

I was thinking about my radiator arrangement, since I am looking at putting the oil cooler and radiator next to each other, I got to thinking. I could have a C& R radiator built to a size equal to twice the size of the stock gen two oil cooler, since we are thinking that the coolant takes out twice the heat that the oil does. Then the thought struck me- why not just get two more gen 2 oil coolers and use them as radiators. I could plumb them in parallel like Tracy does. Certainly would be cheaper than a custom radiator. Any input, obvious or not so obvious flaws in this idea?

It would work but it is a waste of two good oil coolers :)
