Glenn, you have any pictures of your IC/trans cooler? I think I have the 31 row and right now I don't think there is room between it and the grill. Space at the top between rad and tran cooler is like 1/8", I don't remember at the bottom but should be fairly tight also. Thank you.

I recommend the flow go to the cooler in the radiator, then to an air to oil cooler, then back to the trans. Three coolers could add too much restriction, which would reduce cooling and reduce lubrication flow.

I also moved the condenser forward just a little by bending the lines but not by much, didn't want to break them.
