Anybody have any experience with Wizard Cooling (http://www.wizardcooling.com/)? I saw them on a recent episode of "Two Guys Garage" and thought it intriguing that they had a radiator that also combined an engine oil cooler and a transmission oil cooler. I'm pretty sure that our radiators include an engine oil cooler in addition to the coolant portion, but I wondered whether, for those of us in the S/C world, you could get a radiator that included the engine oil cooler, transmission cooler, intercooler radiator and the regular coolant radiator. I wrote to ask. For a Kenny Brown car, it would eliminate a couple extra mini-radiators in the front (intercooler and transmission cooler).

It also occurred to me that this might be cramming too many things into one place, and that heat from one source might bleed into another, but I'll wait for the Wizard guys to say that.

Correction....

Our engines DO NOT have any type of oil cooler

IMHO....

If you have integrated cooling such as a radiator/tranny cooler, you will cooling the tranny fluid with hot water or water that is hotter than the outside air. It's better to have separate cooling systems.

Cars back in the 70's & 80's used to have a combo radiator/tranny coolers. Manufactures have gotten away from that.

I have factory oilcooler new type from cv on my marquis. beside the cooler unit you would have to order radiator lower support bracket think it was 48.00 dollars from titus-will also oil filter adaptor I can't remeber cost was cheap also. install 1.5 hours just becareful to measure lower radiator hose you will have to cut to connect on each end of unit.

hope this help
