The best way to pick out a transmission cooler is to measure the area in front of the radiator and pick out the largest cooler that will fit in that area. To maximize the space you have the best style of cooler to pick out would be a stacked plate cooler. These coolers are highly efficient and do not take up much space.

I attached a page that has all of the stacked plate coolers we offer. Once you know how much room you have to work with you can select one of the coolers or you can email me back and I will help you pick one out.

The Derale 9-Row Stacked-Plate Transmission Cooler Kit # D13403 is slightly smaller than the cooler you referenced and should work very well. Its dimensions are 13 inches wide by 7-5/16 inches tall and 2 inches deep.

These coolers are sold as supplemental coolers to be used in conjunction with the factory coolers, but there are many people who run them as stand-alone coolers to handle all of the cooling responsibilities. If you get the biggest stacked plate cooler that you can fit you should have no problem using this to bypass your factory cooler.
