Transmission cooling lines? Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SuperCtruck · 12-14-2016, 10:14 AM

I have a turbo 350 mated to a 350 motor I'm getting ready to drop in my 64 c10. I'm having trouble finding straight pieces that are long enough Here at my local parts supplier in town.
The fittings for supply and return lines screw into along the bottom of my radiator. Any info or suggestions are greatly appreciated??!!

Have you checked the 70's to see if those are what you need?

I've looked at a few different parts vendors catalogs and I'm seeing the 70's lines screw in along the passenger side of the radiator.

Straight pieces? Of hard line? Use large brake line- you can buy them from any auto store in various lengths and bend to fit. I think that they use inverted flares just like brake lines. It is what I have used in the past.

Considering going this route?! I hate bending metal line while measuring on my back

I used the exact set up SuperC is showing and I'm very happy with it. I hid it in the frame really easy.

I also used the brake lines for my lines for a 700R4. But I did use rubber hose at the end where I hooked it up to the trans cooler.

That's what I did on my 4l60E.

I used inline tube for my trans lines but they were power glide ones, don't know how close the 350 are to them.

I modified the cooler lines from my 83 Chevy parts truck to work on my 66 when I put the turbo 350 transmission in it.
