Default Using 4th gen F body trans lines on 1st gen F body

What's the chances of them being pretty much a direct bolt on? They would be great for reliability reasons over rubber and cheaper than AN ss braided stuff. I'm having a hard time locating the lines. It seems like the salvage yards cut them when jerking the LS1 out. Just wanted to check before going through a bunch of hassle running some down. Thanks

Not sure how it applies to first gens but I used them off a a 4th gen in my second gen so it should be able to work if the length is right.

How much of the 4th gen trans line did you use? Any pics? I will be doing the same thing on a 2nd gen f body in a few months.
thanks,

theres a very good chance the can go right in. I've used the stock radiator and trans cooler lines off 4th gens in a 62 bel air and a 66 impala so far. Not even really tweaking them either, went right in, no cutting or anything. just like they were made for it!
