I have the B&M SuperCooler model number 70268. It fits in front of the A/C condenser as it is only 3/4" thick, but 11" X 7 1/2". Only $46 from Summit, and it comes with instructions and all of the necessary fittings and stuff to mount it.

The B&M cooler is smaller and more efficent than the larger ones you see with the flimsy aluminum fins. The B&M's fins are much more stonger too. Just my .02c, plus I have one too.

The B&M SANDWICH style is the BEST, GM also used these coolers on many applications. The CAPRICE 9C1 Police package uses one on the Engine OIL COOLER. These coolers are manufactored in CANADA, and are great. I'm using (((3))) of these style coolers on my car for OPEN ROAD RACING. Rearend cooler with pump, T-56 gearbox cooler with pump, and ENGINE OIL COOLER. HTH's
