Default Transmission Cooler

Hello all,

I'm looking to improve my transmission cooling ability. I've got a 4L80e with transbrake and 3500 converter in my 68 firebird. I rarely use the transbrake as the car is 99% street driven. I'm currently running the internal radiator cooling loop and intent to continue using it but add an external cooler.

In my research it seems that the theme is get the biggest cooler you can fit. The Tru-Cool 40K cooler seems to get good reviews but it's rather large. In any case I'll go with a plate style cooler.

The heart of my question is, if going with a large cooler in front of the radiator, do I risk impacting motor cooling? What are you all using? Any suggestions for mounting/fitment in first gen F-Body?

Thanks much for taking time to read and respond.
