I will soon be switching out for an aluminum radiator. It wont have a tranny cooler in it like the stock on does. Does anyone out there have some experience with tranny cooler. I guess i would just like to know which ones work best and the best mounting place.

There are 2 types. The finned type which is similar to most radiators and then the stacked plate type, which is the more effective cooler. The stacked plate type gives you a smaller cooler for the same effective cooling.

I went with a 15 x 8 x 1/2 finned type made by Hayden and mounted in in front of the radiator.

I have heard that you almost cant go too big when it comes to sports cars and street rods for these type of coolers-probably due to the limited cooling with smaller car designs. I also think the idea is if you dont drive in the winter, then youll never have to worry about too much cooling.

why not get a raditor with a trannie cooler built in?

The heat exchangers in rads are actuall more tranny heaters than coolers, they help fast warmup but don't cool a whole lot, having a cooler after the heat exchanger works well
