80e trans cooler Q

[Beavis]

When doing the 80e conversion, is it necessary to go overkill on trans coolers or is one big one (and not using the stock radiator one) enough? I'm have a hard time deciding what i want to do about that and where to put it on a ty (not as much room under the truck). And not sure if I want to put it up front (don't want the restriction in front of the radiator) but if I have to I will. Any pics of what people have done would be great cause I searched and came up empty (most where old and had been removed due to age). Also on a side note, my plan is to do it very simple as to not complicate things. I believe there
is something to be said for simplicity.

1 big aftermarket should be fine. 80e's have temp sensors built into trans so you can always check the temp that way also to confirm.

For what it's worth, I asked George Blake before I installed mine and he said that the stock radiator was ample for an 80E as there is so much more fluid than the 700R4.
