Title: New radiator and transmission lines? Help
Post by: tommyhr on May 18, 2017, 10:07:14 AM
I recently installed a new radiator with electric fans, the mounting points were the same and the input and output for the engine coolant were the same, however the transmission lines are no longer mounted on the bottom of the radiator. Instead they are on the side. Does anyone know where I could buy new lines, a conversion kit, or some other ways to do it. Also will transmission fluid eat through any lines other than metal? Could I just buy some tubes to length and hook it up that way? Any help is appreciated so thanks in advance.

Steel lines are preferable, but If you use rubber hoses, make sure they are ATF resistant.
I used NBR oil/gasoline hoses, has been fine for years.

Easy way would be to get a few feet length of 5/16" tubing, a few 5/16" flare nuts and two 5/16" to 5/16" connections and bend up your own.

Anyone have any information about a parking pawl for a 727 TF transmission off a 70 charger with a 383?

Maybe check with a transmission rebuild place like TCS or Cope racing trans?
