Well I got an oil cooler setup, including setrab 8x8" oil cooler and -10an fitting/lines, and mocal sandwhich plate with a thermostat. Now the question is what I should do with a stock oil cooler/heater plate, I want to just ditch it. But it has a long thread sticking out when you take it off, can I just cut it? I don't know if you na guys have the same cooler or not.

I removed mine - two less connections on the coolant circuit (and they are a$$ to get to) and it stops the coolant getting so hot on the street and on the track in my experiance. Increased warmup time is negligible - maybe 1 minute ?
The threaded rod is removable - just get two M20 nuts and lock them together, then spin it out of the block. The 1.6 rod fits straight in
