Easiest cheapest engine swap

When I put a LS in my S10 I had a 700R4 built and the Shop told me to use a external cooler. They said my truck would run cooler and my trans would stay cool instead of adding heat to the radiator. 35,000 miles and Iowa heat still NO problems.

Yeah, I read that somewhere also. The external cooler I bought has a kind of a thermostat to restrict fluid flow some until the fluid heats up some.
