Tranny Cooler Mounting Position

[MercuryMarc]

Thanks to all the help so far abount my radiator. I have the 2 row alum rad mounted (tight fit) and the Tefba filter installed. Just fabbed the brackets to mount the pusher fan in front.
But where should I place the tranny cooler? There is room to the edge of the rad in front but not in the path of the fan, and maybe some room between the rad and the engine down low, but brackets will be a challenge there.
Thanks again!

Sounds like you placed the fan where the cooler usually mounts. Is there room between the radiator and water pump pulley? I not, you may need to mount the cooler off to the side.

Marc - It isn't necessary to have the tranny cooler mounted in the path of the fan. You just need to mount it so you have airflow across it. I mounted mine off to the side like this:

Once I paint it, it won't show up at all behind the grille.

Phil, did you trim that radiator support?

Thanks for the pic!
I will put mine off to the side like in your picture.

Nope, all stock.
