Hello. I'm swapping in an LQ9 with the Corvette front accessory drive into my 82 Monte Carlo. If anyone has used the C5 drive system in a G-body, where did you get you power steering lines, or did you use the stock lines?

Use a powersteering hose from a C5 vette. There is a thread with this suggestion in it. Actually.... I believe it was a 85 Monte with the same Vette accessarydrive. The powersteering box has the same(vette/monte) threads so its aeasy swap

Or, you can simply make your own lines. Eaton-AeroQuip has the fittings, and the hose. Its easy. Thats what I did.

I learned not to use the braided lines & fittings on the pressure side! After making 2 different hoses & having 2 blowouts, I. Went to napa & had them make me a pressure line

The AeroQuip braided lines have been on my truck for 5 years with absolutely no problems at all. This Hi-Performance Series of hose & fittings from AeroQuip is rated at working pressures that far exceed a power-steering lines use. If you get the free parts book from any Eaton-AeroQuip Dealer or Distributor, it includes a great "How-To" on proper line/fitting assembly. Been using it on all my Offshore Powerboat, Street Rod, Muscle Cars, etc, for 25 years. No worries. Excellent product.

I used Russell hoses and fitting.. you got to remember that the power steering is around 1500 PSI ! (give a take another 100 PSI)...

Russell has there Teflon Line SS braided hose. I have had not problem using it and their AN fitting and adpters.
