Trans cooler recommendations please
I am not satisfied with the level of engine coolant and oil cooling so I am going to add another oil cooler behind the passenger side driving light like is on the drivers side. Unfortunately that space is presently occupied by a trans cooler so it will have to go to the back.
The trans cooler is a B&M Hi-Tek SuperCooler with Fan - Large.
What trans cooler have you mounted in the rear? What is the largest/max cooling trans cooler that will fit somewhere in the rear?
Thanks!

I bought this one. Mounted horizontal at the bottom of the rafiator. I may have seen 170 degrees after several passes at the track. It just works.

It looks good but on my Vette the radiator is in the front.

I screwed a piece of 2" aluminum angle to the part the air dam attaches to and screwed the cooler to that. Unhooked the factory lines and adapted them to 6AN fittings and ran hoses around the right side of the radiator to the trans cooler. I tried going through the rad first and then the cooler but it just did not cool as well so I bypassed it.
