5.0 radiator questions. coolant/oil/tranny cooling
hello,
i have a five liter 89 fox body mustang, a manual stick. i want to change my radiator to one that has a built in oil cooling lines, and i was also wondering if they had a radiator that cooled tranny fluid as well! I want to build my stang for long range trips to keywest from palm beach fl, so I am interested in keeping the whole engine and drivetrain as cool as possible to increase reliability on the road.
are there any kits for the foxbody mustangs with dual coolant/oil radiators?
also, even better, are there any kits for a radiator with all three fluids? that will fit an 89 mustang?
if so, what else will i need to install this? like a oil filter adapter with to and return lines or something?
im good at straight part for part replacement. this creative hi-performance trick engineering is new to me. any help would be a godsend.
thanks guys

a manual transmission does not circulate the trans fluid like an auto, so you do not need a trans cooler. adding one would be more expensive then buying a new transmission.
i think you can get a radiator with an oil cooler, or just add one, that im not too sure about. you could also most likely buy an auto radiator, and use what should be used to cool the auto trans fluid as an oil cooler, or just add a dedicated oil cooler.
check ebay.

You can get a regular auto tranny style radiator that will have the fittings for the auto tranny fluid lines and instead run the engine oil threw that. That way your cooling the oil some instead of the auto tranny fluid as you have a manual.
