Alot of people use stainless line with AN fittings, but I just used the factory TH400 fittings and got two 60in straight sticks of 5/16's steel line from Autozone that had fittings on it to match the ones on the transmission and bent it by hand to route it up to the cooler and cut off the excess line.. Then I just put some rubber hose coming off of the cooler end and hose clamped it to the end of the steel line. Works perfectly and it only cost about $10 bucks for the steel line..

It is gonna cost you a little more to do it, but I think it's well worth it just to go ahead and get the steel braided lines. If you PM Madman, he sells a kit that includes a 11"x11"x1-1/2" cooler with NPT fittings, a foot of -6AN steel braided hose, and a couple of fittings to get everything all tied together. I ran my lines from the tranny, up to the front and stayed away from the long tubes, over the A-arm and up around the bottom of the radiator/AC condenser. I had some line left over so I layed it in the lip in front of the condenser and then looped my lines up into the 90 degree fittings that went into the cooler. I drilled 2 holes in the car right above where the air dam bolts up, and fastened the bottom of the cooler in there. I also bent the cooler back on the top end so it would be leaning back towards the AC condenser. I haven't yet fastened the top of the cooler. (I had just finished up most of this a few days ago.) I'm trying to figure out a way to do that and still make it look somewhat "clean".

Here are a few pics...they aren't real great. I took them with the car on the floor, I wish now I had taken some with it on the jackstands, for better pic quality purposes.

In the first pic, you see the cooler is mounted on the passenger side of the car. I had to move some plastic out of the way of the AC condenser in order to get the cooler to fit in there. I guess you could trim the plastic and put it back in there but I just pulled it out.

Here is another shot from above, this is how I ran the lines up and over top the cooler to the fittings. Like I said this was mainly to get the slack out of the lines.

Here is a shot from underneath, you can see it is just above where the air dam is bolted onto the car. If you look to the top of this pic you will see the braided lines coming out of the cooler to come down and lay behing the cooler in the lip in front of the AC condenser. Just be sure if you go this route that you do some test fitting. That will save you the headache of having to move something due to clearence issues. Hope this helps.

I put mine on the radiator, up where the a/c condenser used to be. I bought a flexalite cooler from summit, I think it was the 7.5x21x3/4 one, with the 6AN fittings on it. I then bought 4 45degree 6AN fittings, and 15 feet of hose, which is more then you need, but depending on how you run the lines you might want a little extra.

I saw a car at LVD yesterday blow the tranny cooler line off.. and he oiled the entire right lane down to teh point where they shut the lane down for the day

I'd spend the $ and put a braided line and -AN fittings on it, it's not that much more $.

Mine hasn't leaked a drop and people have been doing it like that for many many years.. If you have the money to spend then braided line is better, but I'm broke and it works.
