I have had my puller fan on for a while and it is mounted through the radiator. Those of you who have a fan and cooler how did you mount them? I would like to put the cooler as far over to the passenger side as possible but the mounts that hold the fan stick through and I can't put it flat against the radiator. The cooler is not the type that can be mounted through the cooling fins. Any Ideas???

The cooler has thicker fins that do not bend and also aren't straight, they are at a slight angle. Its a B&M.

This is what I did....

I mounted the trans cooler IN FRONT of the radiator. I made two small brackets out of some diamond plating. I bolted one end where the lower radiator bolts go through, and the top of the bracket bolts on the trans cooler. They are angled about 45 degrees up. I will get a pic so you can see. If you want to mount it in the front, let me know. We can get some dimensions and I will fab you up some brackets. If you like them, keep them...if not, trash them. No charge if you like them or not.

I've had my tranny cooler mounted a couple different ways over the years, but when I added a/c, I had to move it to the passenger side. I mounted the cooler vertically and made a couple brackets that connect to the radiator support top and bottom. Here's a pic:
