Is everyone pretty much doing a 29x19 double pass right? Also curious if anybody with the big stall autos is running a trans cooler in their radiator or just running a seperate cooler.

Running stock LS1 car radiator with fans. Keeps my 408 @ 160* constant. Mounts perfect in a fox as well.

Yeah I am debating the whole radiator+trans cooler or just running a trans cooler by itself.

Um nothing. I think there was some rubber gromet that I took out on the bottom support, but it slides right in and fits perfect. We used a metal plate that goes over the top of the radiator for a better seal, but the thing works perfect.

Just out of curiosity, I noticed some ports while looking at the fbody radiator pictures that I am unclear about. On the drivers side lower there is a small little tube. Is that just a mount? Then on the passenger side there is a medium sized port below the radiator hose area. Is that for a sensor or something? It looks to be below the transmission cooler lines.

It has an integrated transmission cooler in the radiator. Here's my setup so far, it's not finished obviously. I just used the camaro radiator.

The one in this picture looks like there is something that is supposed to go below the trans cooler and then something else on the bottom passenger side. It is from this ebay listing:http://www.ebay.com/itm/140769365774...84.m1423.l2649
