[Chevelle-list] 700R4 Trany question

[Wayne Kline]

Hi Dan.
The " Street Rod crowd" with there limited space and desire to keep things 
uncluttered, Seem to have gravitated to the external mid under car mounted 
Transmission coolers, Doral and BM both make units with thermal switches & 
Fans. If Lines running up the frame rail is not an issue, the front radiator 
mounted units works well.  If your  truck has AC condenser , that is where 
there my be an issue. ( I am not a big FAN of triple stacking fluid cores 
for thermal reduction)


UMMV
