frame mount tranny cooler

[oldbiker]

Have any of y'all run across a frame mount oil cooler... I had a aluminum one long ago and can't find one...all I can find is the ones that look like a mini radiator.. I want a long one I can run outside of my frame rails????

you can put it anyplace you want to really. the more air flow the better though.

They say transmission but I'm sure you could use it for regular oil.

That LOOKS cool. But you would need more than one installed in parallel. The one on ebay has only 1/4 inch fittings and that is not near enough flow to use in line with a remote oil filter hookup. All transmission coolers have small lines to flow only what goes through the stock coolers in the bottom of a radiator.

Check out these guys…

They have several types of engine oil coolers. Their power steering oil coolers look good too and could be adapted to engine oil cooling.

Here is a page with Ford part numbers and diagrams too…

Just do a Yahoo search for “Oil Cooler” and look around. I bet you can find one that looks good to YOU. If it is made to fit a VW or whatever, who cares, as long as it looks cool to you.

And in defense of the people who mentioned oil coolers, the first line of your post is :

Your the best !!!!!!!! the photo on the ebay showed the vender and I can get the 30" for less than 1/2 of what the hot rod shop here wants....Can't thank ya enough.... oh I didn't mean to offend any peeps... was clownin around....

what i meant is that ihave seen people put the coolers up on hte inner fender. but that really will not get air flowing through them. it has to have air flow like a radiator. atleast the old style types do. im not talking about the type that goes inside of the bottom radiator tank. im talking abou tthe type that has the tube that winds around and is connected with aluminum fins.
