Tranny cooler lines

Well, I pursued the avenues suggested in an earlier thread, but all I have been able to come up with are tranny cooling lines for a 2wd.....therefore, I'm still looking for new, pre-bent automatic transmission cooling lines for a K5 Blazer Jimmy with a 307 (ugh) and a TH350....(I know they're the same for a truck, but I keep being advised that the listings are only for 2wd)....any other suggestions on a source for these lines?

Thanks, and sorry for the asking the question again....it's just that I didn't resolve the problem.......

Oops, sorry. You're right, I don't see any for 4WD.

I'm not sure, but I must assume there's a difference since the places that offer them specifically list them for 2wd and not 4wd..........

Anyone know if / where pre-bent, steel cooling lines are available for 4wd's? If not, I'll be forced to make some (BTW, is there any reason I shouldn't use flexible - I don't mean rubber. I would use steel braid] lines?)

Re: Tranny cooler lines

The engine sits farther back in a 4WD, right? If that's the case, then the cooler lines for a 4WD would be a bit longer than the cooler lines for a 2WD. I'll bet the 2WD lines would work with a little tweaking.

Re: Tranny cooler lines

I ordered "pre-bent" set of lines from LMC...so now they ended up REAL bent to get them to fit on my 72 4 x 4....one of many lessons learned about not paying attention and assuming too much! I got them to fit but not the greatest show look for sure! So does anyone know where you can get braided flexible line for these? Now that would be way cool! No fuss, no bother and nice looking...

Re: Tranny cooler lines

I bought mine from Inlinetube.com along with 4x4 brake lines.

I can't remember if the fittings are different sizes between the 700R4 and TH350... but I'm using "universal" SS trans lines from Bow-Tie Overdrives on my 700R4. They came with hard lines that are pre-bent and tuck up nicely against the oil pan and run up to the front of the engine. You cut the hard lines to length. They provide SS braided line with compression couplers on one end that atttach to the hard line and fittings on the other for the rad connections. I re-routed mine through a trans cooler. It's a real slick setup.
