1960 f100 292/fordo with trans cooler with lines into block of motor? What to do?
Ok I have a 1960 f100 with a 292 y block and ford o matic trans. I pulled the old motor out because it was on its last leg. Well the old trans has a cooler on the side of it and hard lines that go into the block of the motor where the water jackets are. The new trans I am pretty sure its air cooled. Which one to go with?

I chose to plug the holes in the block and run the tranny fluid up to a B&M cooler in front of the radiator. I ran hard lines I pulled from a truck at the boneyard. It worked just fine.
Hope that helps.

Hello - this is funny because I had the same thing on my '67 when I pulled the tranny years and years ago. It had cooler lines routing coolant back to a box thing on the side of the tranny. I'd never seen anything like that.

Okay, now I'm caught up with the thread. Apologies for the double post.
What I'm talking about is changing the system from one that brings coolant back to the transmission to one that is more conventional and brings tranny fluid up to an external cooler or, more commonly, the radiator like you would see on a truck from the '70s for instance.
Is this what you want to do or would you rather keep the factory system that routes coolant back to the tranny?

How would I go about installing a temp sensor? I wount be towing or hauling at all. If I were to install a trans cooler on it how would I go about doing that without changing my radiator? I am mmost likey sticking with stock just checking my options.
