I have deleted the GQ auto trans coolers from the radiator and use 2 front mounted coolers instead. The 1st one is one of the "generic" black thin ones used by most auto trans places, the other one is a PWR one 280mm X 255mm X 19mm thick (PWRO/CH/DUTY) . I run them in series and my running temps don't go over 70 C in summer.
I highly recommend the PWR coolers.
Regards Andrew.

use a water/oil cooler first then into a air/oil cooler. the water/oil coolers are more effiecent. you have to run a huge oil/air cooler to match water/oil cooler.

also if you use a thermostat on the air/oil coller you can avoid running the oil to cold.

Im running a air con condensor out of the donor VN Commodore that i used for the motor and gearbox transplant works fine just ran the original 2 lines from the auto to it. A mate told me this one he had used it on a turbo diesal surf mine now never runs above 50 degrees even in first low clibing hills all day and this mod is real cheap.Just flush out the condensor first then all is good
