Question:
I have a 56 with a Dynaflow. Im wondering if using one of the tube style coolers mounted in front of the rad will be enough for my car? Thanks a lot!~

The heat sink coolers such as # D13266 are great if space is limited but they are not all that efficient. It would help some but if you need series cooling this is not the best option. I would instead go with a stacked plate cooler such as # D51008. It is small but very efficient.
Or you could go with a plate fin style such as # D13503. We usually recommend using the largest cooler that will fit in the available space because transmission fluid cannot be overcooled. I have included a link to our helpful article on transmission coolers for you.
