The B&M should be ok, I also hear that the Hayden's are good too.

I have the B&M in my car and it is the one I would recommend. Also installation is very easy. I got mine from Thunder Racing also.

If you get a B&M supercooler you shouldn't need an install kit. I got mine(24k lb gross vehicle weight cooler) from summit, and it had enough hose, clamps and zip ties to install. I even had a few items left over that I didn't need. I think I paid about $55 for the cooler.

I have the B&M "Hi-Tech" cooler. Due to the integral fan it is very compact and can be mounted almost anywhere. Mine is tucked up horizontally inder the passenger side headlamp and it works fine even with my loose converter and hi-po combo.

If you buy the B&M supercooler you can install it and still have enough parts left over to do a throttle body bypass.
at least I did on my 94.

I got the biggest tranny cooler that will probably fit a fbody per Brent Franker's recommendations, Hayden 1405, 26,000 lbs gvw.

Edit-I put mine's in front of the condensor. Dunno how you can put it in front of the radiator since the radiator is sandwich between the condensor and electric fans.

It is very easy to put it in front of the radiator. Plus the kit comes with like some almost like Zip Ties that you stick through the radiator and put a lock on the other side.
