was Brought home the 87 8v now Keeping auto tranny cool

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

Yeah, true.  You prolly have not seen one.  What I am speaking of is taking a normal V8 auto tranny cooler found anywhere, and plumbing it in to your tranny.  I forget where the lines need to be connected, but as I mentioned earlier, this would be a custom setup.

If so, I would expect that the B&M stuff would help with the life of the thing. They do indeed get too hot. A custom external air to oil cooler (not oil to oil) does help to extend their lives...
