Placing a trans cooler up front seems to be the way to go when you consider air flow being a critical necessity. I like the diagrams provided by Clone TIE Pilot and will probably opt for the in series setup which gives me additional cooling to the radiator trans cooler and allows use of existing trans fluid lines.

I’ll let you know how the Derale setup works tomorrow. So far the street hits are cooler than the Hayden and low budget fan.

It doesn't need to go in front of the radiator.
Couple of questions :
What cooler are you using?
How are you planning to plumb it?
Why the need for an external cooler other than the radiator?

I just swapped out a Hayden and low budget fan for a Derale setup that includes the fan. View attachment 180534


You can see in that I cut holes in the air dam. I'm not sure of their effectiveness, but time will tell.

I don't use the trans cooler in the radiator only because I don't want the trans fluid at 170-190 degrees at the start of a 1/4 mile run.
Thanks for the help. With an extra set of hands I was able to get the top plate off and install the transmission cooler. Works good. thanks again.
