I bought a stand alone transmission cooler with its own fan and 180 thermostat for my new 6l80e install.Just would like to see if anyone has any suggestions or pics of their installation. I do not have room in front of the rad.Thanks for the help .....John

 

How big is the cooler ?.. and which car ?

I've seen a few mounted on the frame outboard under the passenger door area.. would it fit there ? How about perpendicular to the back side of the lower Radiator ?

the cooler is about 7" x 9" by 2 1/2" at its deepest point . its for the 67 , finally got it driving this weekend ( sandy ). I will have car on a lift next week so i can better plan where it may go easier than the creeper. hope to take it on the hot rod power tour ? JOHN

 

Great to hear you got it back on the road after Sandy. How is everything else working out..? I was in NYC during the Storm also.. some vacation it turned out to be.. LOL..

 

Anywhere you'll get good air flow should work.

I made a bracket for mine so it stands about 3-4" in front of radiator and attaches from core support to hood latch bracket. Been on the for 12+ years and doesn't go through the radiator at all. No issues even with the 4500 stall.

 

I was told you should plum the lines in on top to make you get no air bubbles correct me if i'm wrong

 

Depending on the design ???? should.

Mine is a tube bent in a series of U's with fins like a radiator, so I didn't worry about that much.

similar to this one...

Looking around underneath I am going to mount it under the drivers seat area .I will take pics when done. JOHN

 

I mounted mine directly to the radiator on the outside.
