How big of a trans cooler do I need? Car is a 3200 lbs with driver, 90% race 10% street, 727, 8" converter, ~530 hp small block. I'm using the trans cooler that is in radiator currently...do I need more?
I just cooked the clutches in my trans, but it was 7 years old, so it was about due for a rebuild.

I use a honey comb B&M from Kragens and has worked great for several years w/my big block, 727 and an 8" 5000+ stall vert..........never sees over 180 degrees...............
Roughly how big is yours (length, width, thickness)? Just trying to get an idea on how big of one I need to buy.

That B&M super cooler is an excellent tranny cooler. Beyond that step up to a derale with a fan mounted to it.
Mopar to the bone!!!

2001 Dakota 5.2 Trailer Tow pack cooler.......fits exactly into a 22' rad opening. That sucker is COLD after the fan is running for 30 seconds.....Cheap and it works. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif) Just get the line ends to the cooler when you pull it...makes hooking it up a breeze.
