I absolutely agree about the cooling setup. I have twin 454's with 5000 trannys that are new for this upcoming year. (I have removed everythning in the boat to the bare fiberglass and am starting over). The boat had twin 454's with 76C trannys and both are cooled with the same design. Here is the raw and fresh water paths that I use. Just a note, I used the old fresh water cooling components from the old 454's on the new set up and it differs from what is used now, but only slightly.
Components in order of water flow RAW Side Ocean --> Seacock --> Strainer --> Raw Water Pump --> U-Cooler* --> Heat X-Changer --> Risers --> Exhaust --> Ocean Fresh Side Heat X-Changer / Cooant Reservoir --> Block Pump --> Block --> Thermostat --> E-Manifolds --> Heat X-Changer / Cooant Reservoir *U-Cooler = This device cools both the tranny fluid and the engine oil. I have never measured the temperatures of the transmissions. The new transmissions have temp senders built into them and a temp alarm switch that is set at 190 F by the factory. I have cooling diagrams available for 5 or 6 different types of cooling arrangements if you are interested.
