Even in the race car, we havent seen a budge in coolant temps as a result of having the oil cooler in front of the rad. We are in the process of changing out the whole cooling system to a twin pass radiator setup, with oil/water heat exchanger built into it but this is being done primarily to drop oil temps even further for track use in the upcoming hot weather.

To answer your second question, there is no room for an oil cooler behind the radiator. With any type of air heat exchanger, you really need should try to get direct airflow on the unit for maximum effectiveness.

But you should have nothing to worry about, by placing an oil cooler in front of your radiator.
