You're right, steel is not as good a heat transfer alloy as is aluminum, copper or brass, but it does work.

Note the lines going to the front spreader/crossmember.
They carry transmission fluid and the steel crossmember which is powder coated black is part of the trans cooling system.
Other part is a Derale pan with the cooling tubes running through the trans pan.

Works pretty good and always makes people wonder what the braided lines are for.
