Front Brake lines.

Can I install the front brake lines with the engine in place? I am fixing to put the engine back in for the last time and wondered if I need to buy the new brake lines for the front and put them in before doing so.

Re: Front Brake lines.

Sure--but, much easier with engine out.

You can, but you wont be happy. I did it, and was not able to get as clean a look as I wanted since I had to work around the engine and trans. Some of the bends look goofy.

Getting pre bent lines does help with neatness but still not easy
