    Roadster Pickup gets tranny cooler

     



    The attached picture shows how I mounted my auxiliary transmission oil cooler for the turbo 350 in my roadster pickup. It is a small unit, measuring only 4" x 1" thick x 11" long, and will run in series with the cooling loop in the bottom of my radiator. I made up a pair of brackets from some 2" x 1" channel scrap that I had and welded them to the underside of the frame, projecting out into the space below the passenger runningboard splash apron. I believe that there will be sufficient airflow in that area, as the front fender itself acts like a giant air scoop which will funnel air thru that area when I am driving. It is tucked up high enough that nothing can hit it without first tearing off the running board and bracket (God forbid). and still leaves sufficient room between the inside of the passenger frame rail and the tranny to run my exhaust pipe for the passenger side cylinder bank. Also in that picture you can see the extra channel supports that I welded on to strengthen the rather flimsy aftermarket running board supports.
