The Derale Series 9000 Transmission cooler can mount either in font of or behind the radiator. The unit measures 11 inches in length, 11-3/8 tall (including mounting tabs) and 1-1/4 inches thick. As this is not a vehicle-specific product, you will have to examine and measure the areas in front of and behind your radiator to see if the proper clearance exists.

The preferred mounting location would be in front of the radiator for maximum air flow. Installing the cooler behind the radiator might be easier, as there will be more room to work with, but you will need to make sure that the radiator fan will not interfere with the installation.
