I would be tempted to use the 280 filter block and pipes and find an aftermarket oil cooler that will fit somewhere, does that sound reasonable?
Will post the chassis number later

It depends on your chassis number if one will fit . There are three different front panel arrangements where the radiator sits. the 300 and the 220 used the same size radiator as an example ,but with different locations for the top hose neck. You can mount the factory Air/oil cooler down in front of the radiator if your chassis is an early one. A pair of new flex hoses and some brackets are al that is needed to mount one. AMG,in the 70's mounted them down the front ,just above the bumper and in front of the grill. The japanese do the same on their comical conversions.
