Transmission cooler. a wee bit larger then stock!
so after patching a few transmission line leaks and springing another leak in the transmission cooler i thought it was time to replace them.
i lucked out a found one that was just the right size. if it was just 1/2 of an inch bigger then it wouldn't fit.
after running it for a week, i think i'll have to say: i like it.
on hot days of 100+ degrees in town driving the transmission temp gauge never gets above 150. in the morning when its around 70 out the gauge never moves up from cold. i am even seeing about a 20 degree drop in engine temps too at times.
so far i have not towed anything with it yet but have no reason to believe it will not keep up with the demand
anyways here are some photos
the cooler is 27 inches wide
and 18 inches tall
new hydraulic lines from mcmaster carr

here is one that looks almost exactly like mine. same size too:
Setrab NASCAR road course 2 pass design aluminum oil cooler with AN-12 fittings | eBay
there are others that some of you adventurous one might get to work. just search ebay for "Nascar oil cooler"
the hydraulic hoses i got from McMaster Carr
McMaster-Carr
you will need some flair fittings. i removed the section of transmission line up to the nearest hard line and flared it to make the connection
good luck to who ever buys it first
