Gentlemen,
I'm putting a built C4 in my 66 JCF behind a 347 stroker. The question of trans coolers enters the picture. I bought a 21000 GVW B&M transcooler from a local speed shop and a smaller B&M
oil cooler as well. My replica does not have the front brake cooling vents cut into the body, although that won't be a major problem to fix.
The trans will have a 3000 rpm stall speed torque convertor, and I'm a little concerned with the inherent heat problem.
Can I mount the coolers pretty much anywhere as long as they have sufficient air flow. If I mount them side by side in the grill cavity they will almost completely block the air to the radiator.
In a Pantera I once had we mounted the
oil cooler slightly above the right rear wheel-of course the Pantera is rear engined and we didn't have the plumbing problems we will have with the front engined Cobra.
What about mounting a seperate electric fan for each cooler?
Any thoughts will be always appreciated.
Thanks
Harris
