Default tranny cooler location on front mount

ive ran into an issue on where to put my tranny cooler at, Im running an ati cooler with a fan on it(isnt a small cooler) not running cooler thro radiator fyi

i have an intercooler up front with pusher fans so really no room their, my charge pipe comes up where the battery use to be. so cant do the dope style plus i think its too heavy for that location

So where is everybody putting their bigger coolers at? this is a street car also.

pics would be awesome

thanks

I'm curious also. I'm running a similer cooler. Last year I had it mounted under the passenger seat where the stock cat used to be. I just mounted mine under the T top storage area the other day. I couldn't find any place else to fit it.

I ran into the same issue last year. The car was overheating and having the trans cooler in the front blocking the radiator wasn't helping. I ended up putting it in the back of the car, under the "trunk" area. It looks a little funny, but gets the job done. I got the idea from someone else on here that had his done the same way.
