    You can just use an external trans cooler. Most radiator trans coolers are located in the bottom of the radiator. You can mount the trans cooler under the car as long as it's in the air flow. I use the double pass heat sink type coolers.

    +1, that is what I am using also.
    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    Thank You Jpelli, Skids, Denny, Don & Stu. So I'll just take the large front tubes off of the front of the radiator. Then the radiator will go further into the Grill Shell & give me more room. I'll then get a trans temp gauge to check the temperature..... Thanks again, Bill
