You are tapping into the cooling system on the hot side with the heater connection. That hot water won't be effective cooling and may actually warm the fluid up.
I don't know how or where you would find a pressurized source of cool water pumped from the radiator bottom tank... you could somehow tap into the cool water feed from the pump into the block. Wouldn't be pretty and may throw the engine cooling system out of balance.
I think I'd wait for the other cooler (hopefully a good size unit to go in front of the radiator).
thanks for the reply
I'm not disputing what you say
I'm trying to learn, this is why I'm asking
can I put the radiator fitting in the bottom tank
draw from it into the trans cooler
out the back of the trans cooler go to the heater core
from there go to the pipe fitting at the pump
Isn't it low pressure? would draw water thru?
Only reason to run thru the heater core is to make the trans cooler, a clean look
Don't drive it in the winter/ don't need cabin heat
Yes, it would heat the inlet water, but I also block the bypass hole in the housing (have for years, no thermostat, just a restriction ring
as I said in the other post, I can barely get to 170*
partly cause, I'm not sucking hot water thru the bypass hole, and running E-85.
