64,65,66 imperial transmission coolers

[SGT FURY]

I was thinking of using factory trans cooler from a 64 imperial on a 61 Plymouth.
Has anybody here used a a 64,65,66 trans cooler on their c body?
Did it all fit with factory lines and no modifications?

Since it's already built into the rad on automatic equipped cars, I was not aware there was a factory additional trans cooler. I know there are power steering coolers...

I'd be interested in images.

Sorry,my bad. Went out to look at parts car in the dark and noticed the 2 A/C radiators?
Thought one was a trans cooler like the auto hemi cars had.?
Traced the lines back and saw that it was connected to A/C.
Why are there 2 separate A/C radiators on a imperial?
Looks like it can be modified to make a factory fitting,looking a trans cooler?

Rear ac equipped?

I don't know why it wouldn't work as a trans cooler though...

So - hemi cars with automatics had a factory stand alone trans cooler?

I've used A/C "radiators" in the past for tranny coolers. They work very well, but it isn't going to be a factory type installation if that is what you want.
I too would guess a rear A/C equipped car to have two of them.

Very cool! At $2900 I won't be buying one for the wagon!!

Did they make them for 66 models?

I'm not sure but didn't Police or Trailer package cars come with a trans cooler?

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

All I can find in the 66 parts book is a hemi only trans cooler. It's listed in Section 9 under trans oil cooling core, which is a listing of the various cooler sections of radiators for automatic equipped cars.
I can find no pic of it, and it leads me to believe it's a special heavy duty version of what's usually found in an automatic radiator.

Did they make them for 66 models?

Yes, '66 AND '67 type,, '68,'69 AND 70 "b" Body type,, and '70 / '71 "E" body type which is same as '71 "B" type....
External oil cooler in front of rad/core support...

Very interesting. Were they an option on C bodies @Xenon ?

Use a trans cooler from a cop "M"-body from the '80s. There are still a few out in the wild.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

There are all kinds of options, both Mopar and aftermarket. Currently I'm running an aftermarket trans cooler, but it's always neater (in my opinion) to run factory gear that's correct for your car, if it can be found. That's just me... lol!

The only "C" I am aware of were some of the older pursuit cars...
But I will admit it is an area I am not that familiar with as I just made them the way I wanted them.....

 

[Turboomni]

The C body police car enthusiasts would have some info on this.

This 64 dosent have rear A/C?

My '66 has the exact same double layer condenser and also no rear A/C.
