I decided I wanted to take my 8 row cooler off the baffles, where it barely fit and kept cracking, and move it to the engine mount. I ended up buying the showplanes cooler mounting kit with an 11 row Aero Classics cooler.
All the guys at the airport thought I was nuts and said the little boot would never keep a seal so we took a video. This is the first startup on a top overhaul, and I forgot to turn the right mag on initially so it's running pretty rough, but it gives you a good visual on how it does indeed seal just fine.

I've got about 5 hours on it now, and it's great. The flapper valve gives you very fine control over oil temps.
