Well after months of shopping around for the right stuff .. I finally found the parts i wanted to build a Aluminum rad with a engine oil cooler in the radiator tank .
this unit is on the cool side of the tank rather then the hot side as most are built like the truck rads and f-body rads ..due to the fact most plastic tank rads dont have room for both coolers in the same tank .
as far as the trans cooler goes it has to face twordes the grill .. a little extra plumbing .
the cool side of the rad is 40 degrees cooler then the inlet side .
the heat transfer of a fluid to fluid heat transfer id 45%more efficient then a air to air external cooler .. this is why i went this way .
If any body has questions feel free to p/m me .
