the CORE size of the GSL-SE cooler and FC coolers are identical. the FC has bigger endtanks slightly, different mounting and the banjo fittings
the FC cooler is WAY easier to find (3 to 1 in my garage!)
i don't have a 79-82 cooler to compare.

The oil cooler cooling capacities are the same regardless. The temp bypass in the SA oil cooler opens a little earlier than the second gens. That means that the SA oil cooler will let oil flow through it at a lower temp. But if it was me, I would do the bypass mod to the oil cooler to let oil flow through it all the time.

By S3 you are referring to the GSL-SE oil cooiler correct?
S1 & S2 Rx7 had FMOC and S3 had Beehives except the GSLE which had a FMOC
If you want to use A GSL-SE FMOC I believe you will need longer oil lines, so I don't believe your 12 oil lines will work.

No. It will take a little longer for the oil to warm up. Mazda went as far as using a thermal pellet behind the front e-shaft bolt (on S4 and later) to restrict the oil flow and make the oil warm up quicker. I suppose they were trying to accomidate the bust it off and drop in gear crowd. I always let my 7s warm up before they are driven. But hey, I guess that's just me?

I thought the front GSl-SE 13B line going to the front cover was shorter because the engine sits closer to the front.
I replaced the beehive on my 1985 12A with a GSL-SE FMOC. I ordered the RB GSL-SE 13B stainless steal braided lines and found that they where to short. The GSL-SE bungs are at an angle so I ended making my own lines with -10 stainless steal line and added a 45 degree angle connector to the FMOC to compensate for the angle.
