Transmission Lines
Just installed motor and trans in my truck, 292 w/200-4R, bought a new aluminum radiator. I need to install new fluid lines between Rad and Trans. What is the best way, buy a couple of brake lines and bend my own or try to order some pre-bent?

Re: Transmission Lines
Can you use braided stainless for trans cooling lines and also for fuel lines running from the fuel pump up to the carb with an inline fuel filter? I need to rework a few of my lines.

Re: Transmission Lines
I've used -6 SS braided lines a number of times. Trans cooler and fuel lines. Never had a failure. If you go that direction make sure the trans fittings are correct for the trans. I haven't used a 2004R but on 4L60E's they use a specific adapter with straight threads and washer not NPT.

Re: Transmission Lines
I bought prebent lines from In-Line and the fit was 90%. Had to bend a bit more here and there, but much less headache than bending my own. I was doing a trans swap, so did not have old ones for reference.

Re: Transmission Lines
Thanks for the replies, while the two transmissions are the same length, I'm thinking the location of the lines are not, regardless the original lines are all buggered up. May be able to save them, but new would be better, especially since both rad and trans are different.
