I had a thought (don't worry, no-one was hurt) , I plan on using the AC compressor for on-board air, it's not a York or anything special, I'm just going to lube it when I use it. Since my rig came with AC and I have an AC condenser out in front that no longer has anything to do I am considering using is as a transmission fluid cooler.
I think it was quite a-bit of work for my A4LD (with 280,000km) to push my 32" rubber, and the day I blew a coolant line and nearly emptied it probably didn't help. But I'm at the beginning of my very own 5.0L swap. I have a AOD trans on my hands, I know the V8 will push 32"s (and 3.73 gears) with no problem, and if the A4LD could do it then I'm sure a AOD won't be bothered by them either.
I'm basically considering it because.... well why not? What would be the down side?
I need to buy and extra 2 liters of ATF?
My trans will run 'too cool'? (This rig will not be taken out in the winter, and is there such a thing as too cool trans temp?)
The heat from the AC condenser/trans cooler will adversely effect my engine cooling?
Has anybody else done this? Does anybody know some good reasons why I shouldn't?
