1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread

Curious, Ryan, does your radiator have a transmission cooler? It also serves to keep the fluid at operating temp in the winter, but can be defeated by a stand alone "cooler" depending on how it's piped. Remembering the "cooler" that HenryRifle put on his '33 that had a temperature controlled fan, plus isolating valves, I believe?

Roger, my radiator doesn't have a trans cooler/heat exchanger in it. My orange truck has no radiator heat exchanger with the same style trans and I've never had an issue. I don't plan to drive the 40 in the winter much at all and I don't think I'll put a hitch back on it either. I've never used one of these heat exchangers and figured this would be a good place for one.
