I bought one from Breathless for $300 with lines. I want it as a engine cooler since it is bigger than the Z51 cooler, but you could sell the lines and keep the cooler.

I think Im going to get 2 universal coolers that will fit side to side and exit on their sides.
Mount them against the radiator. Bypass the trans cooler in the radiator and just run the external cooler.
then
Use the Z06 oil adapter/lines cut it at the the rubber section run a double sided barb on each hose to the hose going to the external oil cooler. Then possibly do the same for a power steering cooler using a small sized cooler stacked in the center above the other two.
Hopefully that would alleviate any and all heat issues...

they mount in the front bumper area against the radiator. you can either do what the factory does by bolting the cooler to the sides of the radiator shroud, or just attached the cooler directly to the front of the radiator otherwise you can tap into the hard lines at the rear of the car and do a rear mount trans cooler
just do a search for oil cooler or transmission cooler
