Default Flexplate & Cooler Install Questions!!!

Been searching can't find anything I just picked up a SFI Flexplate

Didn't come with any new hardware my question is should I re-use my stock bolts???

Also does any body know what the torque spec are for the flexplate bolts?

And is there any sequence to follow?

On the transmission cooler should I run it inline to the factory cooler in the radiator or just remove the lines from the radiator and use only the aftermarket cooler???

If I remove the lines should I plug the radiator with NPT fittings or leave them empty!!?!?

Thanks so much in advanced!!!

What size is the cooler? you can run it alone if its big enough but i tied mine into the existing output line of the radiator.

Ask yourself, ..., Why would you NOT want to take advantage of having both the stock OE/radiator/cooler, AND the aftermarket cooler after that?

Wow, that makes sense I didn't think of it like that.

I got the B&M #70264 - The 24,000 GVW Trans Cooler.
