go to the b&m site and look. some like the 74 are twice as big. But then you have to run custom lines.

I just ordered (and received) my 20274. It's 11x11x1 1/2 with 29000 BTU cooling capacity. I'm going to run as a stand-alone as soon as I get my fittings and lines together

70264 is a great cooler and will work fine for your application. it has been run by alot of members on this forum for a long time. i personally have a 70274 and that thing is almost too big for a f-body.

Don't use a tube and fin cooler.....use "stacked" type coolers only. Fluid travels thr4ough the tube and fin coolers way too fast.

I just bought another cooler a few days ago....gonna run it with my current cooler. I think it was a 30 row stacked cooler. Dual coolers.

Here's my cooler that I've had for 9 years. My new one is almost 40% larger, gonna mount it the same way on the other side. Never put them up against the condensor or radiator either. That causes hot spots the size of the cooler on the condensor or radiator.

Run them in parallel if you do dual coolers. Use a splitter off the line coming from the tranny with hot fluid.....run the two lines off the splitter into each cooler, then into another splitter back into the single return line to the tranny.

Here's a pic of one I did an install on. Stroked motor, nice heads, procharger, n20 plate (200 h/p pills), 4L80E, Rossler Brake. It lives in Mississippi and does just fine. Sorry for the humongous pic guys....

I like these installs a lot. They use a smaller cooler, but the placement is awesome because it gets a lot of air flow.

I think they're Perma-Cool 1004 coolers. They are tube & fin coolers, which are slightly less efficient per square inch than stacked plate coolers, but still do a great job. (I have a couple Perma-Cool coolers. They've very well made and very light. They're also all aluminum, and won't rot like copper.)

Here's the post where it's discussed:
