I am about to install a stacked plate cooler and remote filter for the tranny and I was going to use a B&M 70268, a 13000 btu unit that I have used in the past. I also bought fittings to attach a coller and filter boss to the original cooler line and the tank in the radiator...

The fittings for the line/tank cooler are 5/8" inverted flares...
The fittings built-into the B&M cooler are 3/8" push on...And they can't be replaced with larger fittings...

So I am looking at a different cooler[ B&M 70273] with removable fittings so I can maintain the volume through the new cooler and the remote filter that the original radiator coller has...

Or am I being paranoid on this flow restriction?
