Default Trans cooler, looking at derale but still not sure

Hey I'm gathering my last few things for my auto swap and want some of your opinions or what you guys are running for trans coolers I'm looking at the derale 13720 but. Space is tight up front max I'm thinking 4 inches thick. Any input or reviews would be great thanks.

B&M 70274 seems to be great from what I've been reading but I know you said space is limited and it seems to have a decent footprint. I'm going with the TruCool H7B which is exactly the same as the 70274 from what I've been reading. Hopefully I can fit it.

I found the trucool one very thin which is a plus the derale I was looking at had a fan.

I would suggest a cooler that has threaded ends instead of push-on ends as many people here run AN lines to the trans cooler. You can always adapt from threaded to push-on, but not the other way around. I suspect many of the better coolers have threaded ends.

Agreed. The B&M or TruCool versions I listed above use 1/2" npt so I bought some 1/2 npt to -6AN fittings to go with it.

+1 for the TruCool H7B. For everything (cooler, an fittings and hose) I spent a little under $200.

Generic fans (all sizes) all over ebay. Got mine for around $25 bucks, it works great.
