What Brad said but stick with the 1098 radiator and just change the 
t/stat cover.
Ron did a report on the thermo dynamics of both cross and down flow 
rads. They are the same but the down flow is a more durable unit.
All you get by changing to a cross flow is an extra radiator hose to 
worry about.

You can keep the spin on filter if you want and just eliminate the oil 
filter lamp or stick in a low oil pressure switch and use that wire so 
the light will light up if you oil pressure drops.
Not a bad idea for the cost of a switch and a tee fiting in the oil pipe.
