My '91 stays nice and cool with the Fluidyne. No hassle install also since it's a stock replacement.

Fluidyne is an awsome unit. Check bb&t racing online as they are the cheapest. Like around $320.00

Fluidyne. One day one of the connections for my electric fan fell out in bumper to bumper traffic on the way to work. The engine got hot, but didn't overheat. Best radiator available.

Anthony, with the scenario you raised ($$ being no object), I would get a Fluidyne with a trans heat exchanger. If you drive in even mild ambient temps, it will help to regulate (not cool, necessarily) the trans fluid. That is one appeal of the Fluidynes (and that you can get plug-and-play units with little/no fabbing required). So your trans will have the fluid warmed quicker in cooler temps, but your "monster trany cooler", the trans temps will not be too hot, once you get the tranny up to temp.

That is how I would do it, being it that you have a reportedly adequate trans cooler already. Best of both worlds.

Stewart makes some very nice water pumps.

Good luck.

C&R makes probably the best radiators there are. $$$$$$$ Everything else is just a stock replacement compared to them.

I love my Ron Davis radiator. Very good quality IMO. The welds on it are second to none. Dropped my car 30 degrees.
