Post by hotrod ford »

Bend some steel line, flare it and hook it up. Since your automatic should already have lines going up to the cooler built into the radiator, you only have to fabricate one line extension from one of the lines up to the cooler...essentially mounting it inline with the existing radiator cooler.
