TH 350 Trans cooling lines
On a TH350 which is the outlet & which is the inlet fittings on the trans? I'm installing a trans cooler and was curious? Also I dont want to mess around trying to adapt AN lines to my stock radiator cooling fittings, will it matter if I just cap off the radiator & use the auxilary cooler only? It's a B&M race unit (28,000 GVW) 8"X11"X1-1/2"

Does it matter???
Cherrybomb,
I've just fitted a cooler to my '74, which has a 400. It's a circular finned one with inlet and outlet at the same end and I mounted it transversly across the front of the crossmember, where it will pick up a good air flow. I bought a pipe bender, some inverted flare fittings and some bundy tubing and made up some new lines. I cut the old lines under the crossmember ( above the lower A-arm ) and joined them there.
Years ago I replaced the stock fan and shroud with an electric/fabricated unit, so have plenty of room there. The benefit is that the fan will blow right onto the cooler when the water gets hot enough to switch it on.
