Transmisison Cooler

I just bought a good sized transmission cooler and I am having some trouble. I looked at the front of radiator today for a good mounting point (1993 F250 4X4 460/E4od and air conditioning). The air conditioning condensor is in fron of the radiator. I don't know if there is room to mount it to the front of the radiator and if I do will I restrict a lot of airflow.

If I mount it in the back of the radiator same questions. Basically I don't want to make my engine run hotter because I have a transmisison cooler.

Thanks,
Geoff

Air flows through the trans cooler, so you're not blocking much. It goes in front, where the air is coolest.

I hung mine off the crossmember of the grille. It came with a few brackets and it worked great. I had to overlap my coolers - I mounted 2 direct on the front of the radiator. The third is as mentioned above. Airflow goes through them so you should be fine.

The best place to put it is in front of the A/C condenser, just behind the grille. This is where I always put them.
