The B&M super cooler or the like, will be plenty for you. I'd use a trans cooler for sure and bypass the radiator altogether. It will keep both the trans and motor more cool.------------------

I have a fairly new setup with a 393 ande a 3500 RPM converter. It is street driven with a single 18,000 gvw B&M cooler I had left over from a prior project. I have been watching the watch the trans temp, and see that it goes up too high with only normal driving. Yesterday I ordered "2" new 24,000 gvw B&M. I will mount them side by side. Since I have a good over sized radiator, and Mark VIII fan, it should work out fine.Below is the single 18,000.  ------------------
