Re: Water cooled trannys in 6-cyl Americans

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Makes me wonder if the S-42 trans I shipped out to LA was equipped with Liquid cooled taps?
I know it was aircooled when it was in my American. Oh, well too late to look now! :]

>Correct Tom -- a model 4x. I think all the model 3x trannys had air cooled torque converters. there was a 35 and a 37. I think the main difference is the 37 has taps so that an external cooler could be added, but the 35 does not.

So an easy way to build a HD water cooled tranny for a 6-cylinder car would be to start with an automatic from a 290. Obviously, use the correct 6-cylinder torque converter and tranny bell housing.
