Default Delux Dope Style Trans Cooler and Power Steering

finally got my power steering cooler and trans cooler mounted. I have the WS6 style radiator hose mounted cooler and do not want to go through any hassles with it. also installing a 3800 stall converter in my car that I drive quite regularly so I figured an external cooler wouldn't hurt. I still have to run the lines and wire the fan but I've been very busy with my day job and this was all I had time to do today

Items were purchased from Jegs
High Performance Transmission Cooler 30,000 GVW 555-60346 $117.11
4 Pass Series 7000 Power Steering Cooler Kit 8-1/8" x 5" x 3/4" 259-13212 $24.28
Some flat aluminum stock from my local tractor supply along with a couple 3/8 bolts and 5/16 or 1/4 bolts with washers lock washer nuts. a few zipties


everything is pretty straight forward, tape measure, drill, basic stuff. everything fits nicely under the radiator and fans.

you probably wont have issues since you have the rad cooler in line too.

last year I had to fab a scoop for my flat mount cooler. It wasnt shedding enough heat. being up on the brake for awhile and then running down the track the temps were in the 260* range as measured in the pan. added the scoop and the temps crossing the line are 220-ish and 180 by the time I get back to the pits

I shouldn't have to worry, mine has a fan on it and I'm not planning on running a brake on my car. its rated at 30,000 GVW too so it should cool plenty
