Trans Cooler

[bavtech]

I have a 700r4 in my 1972 Camaro. :drive:

I was wondering what people are using for the Transmission Cooler. I am trying to not use the one that is built in the radiator. I am trying to make the engine as clean as possible, without the hardlines running to the radiator.

thanks for the help.

My engine isn't in the car yet, but I went with Earl's transmission and oil coolers. Just call them up and tell them about your application, they will suggest a size that fits your application.

Where do you plan on mounting it???

I did have one on my last 1970 Camaro that I mounted in front of the rad that was made by Earl's. Just seeing if anyone had any cooler :) idea's on styles or mounting locations.

They make heat sink trans coolers that you can mount anywhere, like on a frame rail or floor pan.

They are just a tube with cooling fins to be aircooled.

They also have radiator style ones with their own mini electric fans that could potentially be mounted in the rear of the car.

B&M plate style are the only way to go. Don't trust a mount it anywhere tube with some fins to cool a trans, especially since most people end up mounting it where there is less airflow than in front of the rad.

BTW, IMO hardlines are a LOT better looking than tacky flexlines clamped to various places.

i have the ford one from summit. IIRC it's the same design as the B&M plate coolers but it was alot cheaper and came with hose and mounting hardware. so far it's worked great.
