Several builders have planed on using the auto trans radiator based on a comment
in my conversion guide about an integral oil cooler in the rad.  I got bad info
on this.  It ia a transmission oil cooler, not an engine oil cooler in the rad.
Dont try this.  Sorry for the bad info.

Tracy,
Can you explain why the integral transmission fluid cooler is not usable as an oil
cooler?

I imagine Tracy is pretty busy building gear boxes and EFI systems so I will
take a stab at this if you don't mind Russell. At least I hope he is :-)
The transmission cooler is designed for low pressure while the oil cooler 
is designed for high pressure.
