Got the radiator fitted and it's pushed the condenser forward slightly so my trans cooler had to be moved. I noticed Derale make a duel pass trans cooler, so I decided to make one myself and I'm in the middle of mounting it on the passenger side rear of the car. Might have it running by the weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any pics of it? I have the typical "race type" catch can that sits near the booster, but I'm looking to change it to a better designed one.. That actually has baffles in it. Also I'd like to have it plumb back to the intake, the fumes that come out of my catch can are a bit hectic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
