Hey guys,

Just looking for some pics of how you guys are mounting your transmission coolers. I have the biggest B&M stacked plate unit that you can get, and I am not using a fan. Wanted to mount it in front of the rad, and just looking for some ideas as to how you guys are doing yours. This is on an a-body if that matters.

Thanks!
Matthew

This is how I did it on my Rampage... I welded some
mounts on the rad tanks

You DON'T want something TOOOOO big ... it will kill some of the stall-speed.

this is on a 68 cuda.

I have the same cooler on the race car and just attached
it with the tie rap kit that you can buy for this job

I have a clutch fan on the motor, and an elec. pusher, so I couldn't mount to the rad.
I apologize for the crappy pic, and your grille support might be different, but I just hung it from the grille support, then made a brace to support the bottom.

I mount mine under the back of the vehicle, I'm sure its wrong:

Nothing wrong with it in the rear if it gets air...
yours has a fan... that plenty fine... is the fan on a
thermo switch.... IF my Rampage needs more cooler I'm
gonna put 1 or 2 more in series in the back with a
fan.. but testing is needed(soon to come)

yes it has a thermoswitch on the *in* side wired to the bat.

In the driver's side fender of a Duster.

I have clutch fan on my engine as well...does this mean that the cooler will not work properly in front of the rad?

It doesnt mean it wont work BUT you might be blocking
off needed air flow to the radiator.. thats dependent
on how close your radiator is to being maxed out

No, it just means I did not have any room to mount directly in front of the rad, haha.

I am planning on putting a trans temp gauge in this season, as I am worried the cooler doesn't get sufficient airflow at low speed, IE in pits, staging, etc. without having a fan pulling the air through

I am tucking the trans cooler behind the grill of the Valiant.

This might not be right on the post, but something to think about with trans cooler locations and lines. Had a bad experience earlier this year. Had the alternator belt break - which took out the blower belt - which took out the trans lines ( pretty much in their stock locations at the time ). Unfortunately this occurred going through the lights at 128. Entire back of car was drenched in trans fluid and I had a "depends" time trying to get it stopped. Lines are now incased in square tubing where they intersect the belt area.
