a727 lines

I was thinking flush to the transmission..make a fitting at the oil pan to hold them together ..then over the k-frame and in OR

my friend , with his '69 GTO has them flush up the side of his trans..on his bulkhead then into the passenger fender..then out and down..

If you went straight out, you would be going over your exhaust, correct ?

A random thought about the steel lines...wouldn't they eventually fatigue due to movement ?

Ian.

My lines would go over the exhaust, but I could deal with that a lot better than following headers up.

And you are right about steel lines, but to if you stabilize them so they don't move or rub against each other you are looking at a lifetime fix.

Rubber lines are actually not as reliable, but hydraulic lines that normally carry hundreds of pounds of pressure I could trust to handle trans pump pressure for a good long stretch.

I ran braided hoses with -AN fitting from aux cooler to 727 on my '65 coronet. Very easy, looked good. If i remember it cost me around $160 for everything.

That's not too bad for what you ended up with, and I would think that by the time you messed with all the fittings and stuff for standard hydraulic stuff you might be into it that much anyway.

Food for thought.
