Default Where to get stock trans lines?

Wheres the best place to get a set of stock replacement trans lines for a LS Fbody car?
I've placed a couple want ads and been watching the classifieds, but no luck coming up with a set.

"Stock trans lines" means you plan to use the stock cooler which is just a simple tube within the stock radiator. Unless you are going to run a stock LS1 (350HP), a stock converter and drive easy, the stock cooler isn't enough. You should at least consider adding an aftermarket cooler and that means appropriate lines for it.

Good point. I've been so narrow-minded just trying to gather parts for this swap. I don't know what the stock lines even look like.
I do have a Performabuilt level 1 trans with a stock converter. I also obtained a flat cooler, about 12" square. Need to look at it a little closer to see what fittings I need to adapt.
LQ4/L92 head - ~400rwhp

Thanks for reminding me.
