How to mount 3 heat exchangers??

First time posting, and looking for a little advice.

I'll be installing a Whipple SC in my 05 5.4l in the next month or so. I already have two heat exchangers up front due to recently adding one for my transmission.

So, my issue is with space. Have any of you ran into this before?

Thanks for any advice ahead of actual install. Hope the attached picture comes through for you.

Dave

Why do you have two coolers? Do you tow?

Yes... I tow a camper one or two weekends a month.

I'll make it work - I'll have to tetris them in and figure out the mounting points.

Yeah I have my HE mounted as you have the secondary tranny cooler. Not sure how you are gonna figure it out.

One thing I will say and some might disagree : Make sure you tell the tuner you tow with this rig. You can burn the motor out towing with a blower. You must tow hard if the tow package needs help.

Between the Rad & Condenser is know as 'The Oven'

I had mine originally in there but mounted it out front.

You gonna have enough air flow to manage all those coolers?

I'd be looking at hood and fender vents

Maybe replace one of the Trans cooler's with a larger transmission pan (Mag-Hytec?) giving you enough room for the IC and getting a drain plug for the trans fluid.

Thanks for all of the replies... I've got an e-mail in to Whipple to ensure I get a "Tow" tune with the SC kit.

I'll be sure to document the install and tetris fun with the H.E.s.
