Trans. cooler question

I hope this is the correct section, I believe it is because it deals with my th350.

My question is I am in the middle of my lsx mustang conversion and my mustang already has an awesome 400 dollar radiator it in that I want to use, but it is made for a 5spd, because there are no fittings for the tranny lines. My question is does anyone make a external trans. cooler that will keep the trans cool enough? on my auto cars I always run an external cooler with the radiator but does anyone make a cooler big enough to do all of the cooling without the aid of the radiator?

Lots of fbodies on here bypass the stock cooler and run B&M 70264. I've seen people report cooler temps with this set up.

Cooler Question

We use a Hayden Cooler Model Number 1404 . While bypassing Radiator it works very well. If you can't find one we have them. Just let me know.
