Default GTO oil pan and oil coolers

Curious on what everyones doing as far as running external oil coolers with the GTO oil pan. i noticed the rear section of the pan which is where the filter would normally go on an f body oil pan it has two threaded and tapped fittings that block off their usage. curious if you could just remove those blockers and use those ports to run lines to a cooler?

You could use either the front or the back, both go directly to the main oil galley.

You can just use the GM oil cooler adapter and gasket used on the trucks( and others too I guess)
The 2 10mm bolts in the back just hold on the oil transfer tubes in place, you would need longer bolts.

i was looking at some thread about that and they didnt have a definative part number for it that i could find off hand. id like to use the front sinc eit would dramatically shorten the length of the hoses needed.
