Trans cooler lines to Rad

What are you guys doing for cooler lines? Mine has nada. I ordered a set from Right Stuff for a 71 A body, 340 with 727, and no way will they work with headers...or at all it seems.

Had read somewhere else that a set for B/E with same combo would work, they look like this

Thought about making my own, local hot rod parts place as 5/16 line available and I have a flare tool that would work, but he threw me off when he said just use rubber hoses to bridge gaps and such.

Thoughts?


they are 5/16 lines.. should fit with headers. just have to tweak them some.. probably a lot easier pulling the headers out and going from there.
