Upgrading trans heat exchanger to an oil cooler

Wasn't planning on a fan other than it being mounted in front the the radiator under the CAC. The idea is to have a fairly large unit to help it cool when it hot out and under a decent load, while being able to keep that same cooler from overcooling the fluid in the winter time. Since I would need to be able to use the truck in a variety of conditions, I'm trying to keep that in mind to keep the cooling system flexible.

I look forward to pictures and reviews!
Please keep the parts list, if it works as intended I may ask for it...
