I have a 67' Chevelle that I am almost ready to fire up.

It has a 370 LS with a TH400 and a transbrake.

What cooler and lines would be the best?

I am thinking of running -6 steel braided Fragola ptfe for hose since that is what I used on my fuel system.

Should I mount it up front? Or should I mount it in back somewhere ?

I am going to drive it for a few weeks N/A and then I have a S88 turbo that will be getting installed (by me)

I really need to start a build thread. Lol

 

In my car and my brother's we run the 47391 tru-cool. We both have a rmvb th400 and street driving in stop and go traffic with 3,600+ stalls with over 100* heat they never get over 180ish. I don't think they have ever gotten over 170 at the track but we don't hot lap either.

 

I like the Atomic Cool a little pricy but seems like a High quality unit I will be finding out results very soon on it

 

B&M makes a nice fan cooled unit that can be a little pricey, but it does work and will mount almost anywhere. I went with a plain jane 20,000btu tru cool and mounted it in a fresh air stream area. i dont see how the fan will do more than a 150mph wind. but for stalling at the light and slow traffics situations it may have some more benefit. not a whole lot of technical data on this to my knowledge.

 

I have a bm 70274 with a big *** fan mounted on it. -6 stainless lines also.

 

That's the one that I have been looking at are you guys running fans on them?

 

I have a derale 13960, $250 but i didnt want trans temp issues. Has an inline sensor so the fan comes on at 180 degrees.I used hard line out of the trans due to 80e tunnel clearance to under the trans pan and then 5/16 to -6an adapters and braided line the rest of the way to the cooler.

 

B&M 70266 no fan, mounted up front with -6 lines.

 

Are any of you guys running the radiator cooler or just a standalone?

 

I went with the same, Derale Hyper Cool units.

 

Big *** B&M cooler up front



And a fan cooler derale unit under the car.


Keeps things cooled.

 

standalone only. Although it does take alot longer for the trans to get up to temp its worth it in the summer. My trans doesnt need another heat source.

 

I just ordered the Tru-cool 47391

They say it has 3/8" inverted flare fittings

in AN speak is that -6 female AN ?

So I need -6 male to male fittings to connect my stainless hoses?

So did you just mount it behind your IC ?

Impressive times BTW

 

it was non intercooled last year so trans cooler was in front.
But adding an A2A now so the trans cooler will be in between the IC & radiator.

 

Negative. Just running the cooler where you can get some air to it. They are pretty cheap for the size and I have mine for 2 years and my brother has had his for right at a year. No problem in either car.

The only down side to running that cooler would be that you would need to do away with A/C to run it..... unless you want to make mounting points and move it way up into the bumper.

 

I can't recall but it seems like I called Summit and got some 3/8" inverted flare to -6 fittings. I can't remember. I will see if I can get to them in the shop to even look. LOL!!!!

 

I am running an eBay unit that is bar and plate and came with a shroud and spal fan. About 12x12 or so, mounted under the car and it is working fine on 4l80 with 4000 rpm stall.

 

You do realize us poor th400 guys get jealous when you mention a 4l80

 

Just like us non-transbrake guys get when you mention a transbrake, lol.
