    see the original post referenced in the beginning "better swamp cooler" the core is mounted inside.

      Cletus, do you think if you had your fan flipped around pulling air from the inside and blowing out would cool better? Maybe add the vent on the opposite side towards the bottom so the air will be pulled from the bottom across the ice, but I don't know just spit balling. I'm about to try to make one.

          Maybe I missed it but I didn't see how good the airflow was thru the transmission cooler. He had that thermometer right on the metal so it didn't look like there was much airflow.

            Haven't had time to mess with it any. I've been traveling at work and only home for a few hours at a time.

              After watching those videos I may try to do something similar.

                I picked up a trans cooler at Napa today. I had just a few minutes to play with it and flows a lot more air than the heater core did. I'll try to get it put together for a test run soon.

                  This. Clint - standard prop fans don't do well pushing static pressure

                    Sweet can't wait to see it. I'm going to start one this week or next. Hurry up so I can make my decision, Clint!
