Default Which tranny cooler and where to put it?
I have a 4000 Fuddle on the way and I'm in the middle of doing a heads/cam swap due to a collapsed lifter. I've got to order a tranny cooler and I was just wondering which one you guys are running and where did you put it?

Do they come with the mounting hardware or are you on your own with it?

Air can pass thru the trans-cooler..so if you put it in front of the condenser or radiator your not blocking any flow from either one.

B&M Supercooler

In front of the A/C Condenser

I'm running in the 180s at 90F in traffic

Also have a Dewitt's radiator.....it runs in the 180's too.

And this is with the air on!

This is on my 95 383 Corvette Coupe Stroker

I think mounting it TO the radiator is a bad idea.. The radiator will cause it to heat up to the radiator temp.. I just zipp tied mine in front, off the radiator.

There is mouting it "dope" style up front.. Maybe a search can find you pics on it.
