V mount Radiator and oil cooler(s) on a NA FC? Why?

If it's been done, I'm sure ppl have talked about it on rx7club.

Most of the FD guys run Setrab, Mocal coolers and thermostat.

On a FD if you put an intercooler in front of the radiator it blocks airflow to the radiator therefore it doesn't cool the intercooler as good as it should. That's why people go v mount.
