I have never had any problems with flaring the end of the tube and slipping the hose over it with 2 clamps 180* out from each other.

Putting a compression fitting & hose barb fitting is OK also. either one should hold fine as long as done right.

The trans fluid should go through the radiator first then the add on to cool it down good. Chevy performance states anything over 200* is bad for the life of a transmission. I ran my 700-R4 like stated and it had right at 300,000 on it when I pulled it out.
