1969 fb 700r conversion trans lines questions? - 02/19/19 08:39 AM
I just swapped a 700 R4 into my 69 Firebird. I changed out the crossmember, used an engine/trans adaptor plate, and shorten my drive shaft. I'm having trouble connecting the transmission lines to the radiator as they are now a little too short with the engine/trans adapter plate installed. The steel lines do not have much flexibility. How have others routed their transmission lines to overcome this issue. Has anyone tried the stainless steel flexible lines? It looks like there may not be enough room at the transmission to make the connection since they don't bend as sharp as the metal lines do? Has anybody tried using them or have a solution they could suggest?
