where to mount trans cooler? pics? I will be installing my converter and B&M trans cooler next week.
where is everyone mounting theirs? ( I have my supercharger intercoolers up under the car and can't mount it there.
Anyone mounting it in front of the radiator?
how do I go about disconnecting the stock lines, can I just run 3/8 rubber line to the stock metal lines and connect it with hose clamps?

Re: where to mount trans cooler? pics? I have one on the right hand side in the corner of the fender.
I guess some call this the Dope style.
I have another one in front of the condenser.
Do a search on this, there were pics a couple of days ago on some people's installs.

Re: where to mount trans cooler? pics? I mounted mine in front of the condenser, down near the bottom.
I ran the tranny lines through the weep holes at the bottom of the radiator support - just had to widen them a little and the hoses fit right through.
I took some 3/8" rubber hose and cut it in half, and used each half to provide a cushion between the tranny cooler and the condenser, so there would be no metal-to-metal contact to wear a hole in the condenser. Just held everything in place with some long zip ties that go through the condenser. It's very stable.
Don't have any pics though.
