Re: radiators!!

If you like your tranny make sure its cooled via radiator. Not sure what brand of alum offers the choice.

Re: radiators!!

I have an aluminum radiator that has the fittings for the auto tranny lines. Use with factory fan, and factory fan shroud. Cools just snazzy...

Re: radiators!!

Look into Entropy radiators. I got mine from them and they work great. They offer a discount for forum members

Re: radiators!!

Maybe late but for a local shop... Kool Radiator... 702.362.1964

For an electric fan I would try this....
