It's when we combine an electric fan with the aluminum radiator

Tom,
I have a 78 L-82 4 speed. Does the automatic radiator have more cooling capacity than the 4 speed radiator? Could I put an automatic radiator in my 4 speed (Iwould assume yes, here) or should I just buy the manual radiator for my car. I want maximum cooling. Thanx.

I put a manual radiator in my automatic '77, and that's a bit backwards from your questions, but it shows that it's possible depending on your reasoning.

My assumption is that the automatic radiator has more cooling capacity than the manual since the Auto rad has to cool the engine and the automatic transmission which can generate tremendous heat versus the engine cooling only for the manual radiator. If I use an auto radiator in my manual I would get the most capacity, I would assume. I would assume that you are running a big transmission cooler for your application. I have twice run a transmission cooler only in an automatic application and currently run a 28,000 GVW trans cooler only in a 1994 mustang GT convertible automatic for about 10 years with Mobil 1 trans fluid with zero issues.

I may be wrong, but I think the manual radiator has more capacity because it doesn't have the separate tank for transmission fluid. The manual radiator holds only radiator fluid and no transmission fluid needs to be cooled in the side tank. For that reason I would assume the manual radiator is more efficient and has the higher capacity.

I'm not so sure the automatic transmissions makes as much heat as you suspect. I have my automatic transmission plumbed to an air cooler with a T-stat and a fan that comes on at 195 and shuts off at 175. To my knowledge, that fan has never kicked on even in the middle of the summer.
I'd like to hear from Tom if the auto radiator has more cores but I have my doubts.

They are exactly the same radiator. The only difference is the auto version has a cooler inside the right end tank and it doesn't use up enough space to affect anything. When you run tranny fluid through the internal cooler obviously the heat from the trans transfers to the coolant and therefore an auto type radiator would run a little hotter than a manual. If it was me, I'd get the auto radiator even if I had no intention of using the toc because if I later changed my mind, it's there.
