Thanks All. I appricate it. Someone at another site gave me a place to put everything I've been learning, but I forgot to come here are post it for this crowd!
Honestly, I don't think it matter to much as long as you stick to a known brand.
B&M is good (even though they lie about their "Synthetic ATF" being synthetic [it's a petrolium product])
Hayden is also good.
There are two types:
Stacked plate. Where the fluid runs through a series of interconnected stacked plates and gets cooled. There are possibly more efficent in some circumstances.
Curved pipe. This is the normal home A/C where you have aluminum fins attached to a pipe the is curved a specific intervals.
Honestly, you can use either type. Since you are going to mount the unit in front of the radiator, both should work fine.
I'd recommend that if you are going to mount the cooler in line with the stock cooler, that you mount it above the lower part of the radiator where the OEM cooler is. (That prevents the hot air coming off of it to warm the OEM ATF cooler...)
