Hello Board Once Again........

Acquired another 92 f150 5.0 XLT. After awhile and many gallons of radiator coolant today I did a pressure test to find quite a few leaks. Attempting to swap it out with another 92 f150 XLT parts truck I have. Non parts truck I couldn't get the transmission cooler lines disconnected from the radiator. While inspecting the compatibility I noticed the parts truck has an aftermarket radiator in it. Below ill list the differences with noticable cons and pros.

White 92 f150 XLT 5.0 Automatic 2wd (Looks 99% original)
- Stock Radiator
- Throttle body coolant line comes from heater hose
- Small transmission cooler/radiator about 6"x18" approx infront of the set of larger radiators
- 1 Line from transmission goes to top of main radiator
- 1 line from transmission goes to small transmission cooler/radiator then to bottom of main radiator

Red 92 F150 XLT 5.0 Automatic 2wd (Has had most of the emissions items gutted from previous owner) PARTS TRUCK
- Aftermarket Radiator (About 2x the thickness)
- Throttle body top coolant line feeds to a rail across the top of the main radiator to right below the radiator overflow/fill tank (Aka right below main radiator cap)
- No transmission cooler/radiator
- 1 Line from transmission goes to top of main radiator
- 1 line from transmission goes to bottom of main radiator
- Has bolt patterns where it seems there ust to be a transmission cooler box but has been eliminated
- Truck was made a parts truck due to coolant getting into the oil weither that was from heads or w/e (Concern of mine)

My questions are:
Can I take the main radiator from the parts truck and install it into the white ford f150?
Do I keep the setup of the transmission cooler w/ the aftermarket radiator or bypass it like the parts truck?
Do I block off the hose from the parts that feeds to the throttle body and keep the setup the white ford has or do I change it to the style of the parts truck?

Will try to take pictures as soon as possible. The difference in the two underneath as well as top view

 

 

First 3 pictures are from truck w/ bad radiator that I want to fix......

Last 3 pictures are from parts truck i'd like to pull the radiator from but have the few questions from first post questioning the setup.

Thanks for any help and sorry for the oversized pictures hehe

 

Bump.........................

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

Swapping radiators and keeping the trans cooler in the loop w/ the different radiator or eliminating it like the parts truck.

 

Sorry my gears keep turning in my head. I have yet to cut any tubes or anything.

But I dont recall seeing a trans cooler on a previous vehicle that the line busted and leaked trans fluid everywhere......

Does the radiator(one you fill with 50/50 engine coolant lewl) have two separate systems? One that runs engine coolant. One that runs transmission fluid. ?????

If previous question is right and is a yes then with a trans cooler it just aids in cooling down the liquid feeding to the transmission?

Now if both of them are a yes.... I think I answered my own problem. However if this is the case does the supply line go to the cooler or the radiator first? Aka which one is the last in the loop the radiator or the cooler.








Btw sorry if i sound like a joke. I dont have the correct system names/etc.... in my knowledge bank.
