Transmission Cooler - Complete Kit?

Does anyone sell a transmission cooler for a TH700R4 that includes EVERYTHING necessary to install it into my 88 IROC?

Don't know if there's one specifically designed for the fbod 700r4. Most of them will work though. Hayden trans coolers have everything. You may need to pick up more rubber hose though. I didn't have enough.

Get the B&M Supercooler 70264... It has a bracket (as part of the cooler) with holes that you can mount to your radiator tray (sit it right in front of the condenser). You just need to drill two small holes, and it looks like a factory installation! Works great too!

Here's a link:

Thanks for taking the time to post me the link.

It says it comes with an installation kit, does that include everything to fit it to my car ort do I need extra hoses, adapters and stuff?

Sorry for the brain dead questions, I just want to make sure I have everything I need.

any parts you wouldn't have and need would be very common pieces you could get from any parts store.

I just got a price on it from a UK supplier, £50.
They are expecting a delivery first week of next month...
I'll just have to be patient!

The extra parts that you might need are a couple 1/4" nuts and bolts to mount it the way I mentioned.. It comes with the necessary fittings to install the hoses/lines (and it also comes with enough hose to mount it the way I mentioned)..

Maybe if it stops raining outside I'll take a picture for you of how I mounted it...

I'll pick up the nuts and bolts no problem.

You'd be surprised how difficult it can be to get hold of little bits and pieces in the UK.
Everything is an "issue" with suppliers over here and you have to gather bits from here and there and everywhere (even ordering from the US and waiting a couple of weeks for the smallest thing).

<sigh>

I'll get the kit mentioned and some bolts and go from there.

Thanks for your help guys, a pic of where to mount it would be great.
I have aircon by the way, does that make any difference to the installation?

Do I need to stock up on any fluids too?

I'll snap a pic today if I can. You will need 1 extra quart of transmission fluid..
