If you have as much clearence (Clarence) as I do, then get a stick of 3" angle iron... take off the tranny cooler (need to replace it anyway!!) and weld that angle iron to the frame rails between the rad and the bumper

Works great and you can see the FMIC through the grill

I had my tranny cooler piggy backing the FMIC.... Not my best thought

I saw 140* after the FMIC the day I welded the forward clutches together.
