Transmission Cooler Lines?
I'm workin on an 81 w/351m400 C6 tranny... I'm adding a B&M 3 QT. Trans pan and their Oil cooler Assly.... Question is when I add the oil cooler assy. Will the system need a 4 line transmission system or does the 2 line stay in place? This is being added because the truck is to haul my rock crawler...
Also, does anyone know where I can get a longer dip stick? Or just add to the old one?
Thanks Jinxed

I'm pretty sure you will still use the factory cooler lines, just adding to them.Usually the install is to keep the radiator cooler in series with the new cooler. You can run the output straight to the cooler, then back into the radiator, then back to the trans. Or you can do it the other way... any way the directions will tell you best on that, but the reason for keeping the radiator cooler in the series is to help warm the trans to operating temps when the weather is cold.
