Default 94 tranny cooler question

I'm going to install a 3000 stall TC in my 1994 4L60E.
From the forum I know a transmission cooler is a must. I've searched and read the forum opinions. Can someone who has done this recommend a brand/model (thinking B&M) and location? The car will be street, occasional strip, no track. It will get Comp 467cam, LE stage 2 heads, 52TB, bosch injectors, TPIS LT headers, and various other goodies. No real city driving. It has 48k on it. I can't find much space anywhere for cooler placement. A photo would be awesome. Thanks.

Get a 'fin' type, vs the old-school 'tube' type. They are more efficient. Also, fluid should flow into the 2nd cooler after it has left the in-rad cooler. There is room in front of the AC condenser to mount your 2nd cooler....just keep some space between the two for air flow.

I used a B&M stack type cooler in my 95. I used all hard lines (no rubber whatsoever)
It is placed at a slight angle (for air flow) in front of my condenser and works very well. I live not to far from you if you want to see the setup in person. Port St Lucie west. My car is stock except Dewitt's radiator.

I'll try to get free to come see it. What is the best way to communicate?

One other thing....if you use rubber hose, make sure it is the kind rated for transmission fluid, not just regular hose.
