i have electric fan in front of my radiator and theres only about 4 inches of room width wise and length wise as in top to bottom only about 3-4 also before it hits the grill support <which is already notched for the elec fan. BTW i already have a finned deep sump tranny pan.

Was it on here that I saw that early Ford picture where the guy turned his front spreader bar into a trans cooler? It had a line in and one out on the other side, and the comments were something to the effect that this system is common practice in the aircraft industry, and there is some name for that type of cooler.

I had a long conversation with a vendor at last years Turkey Run about those cylindrical coolers, and he seemed very well educated in cooling matters. He said the double pass ones, like you bought, and we also bought, are the most efficient type because of 360 degree surface area. I think this is they type I am going to but for the T, and my Son already has his installed on the '29.

Anxious to see how they work too.
