Cooling lines for 4L60E transmission and power steering hoses I need help getting some cooling lines for my LS1/4L60e conversion into a 81 Corvette C3. I don't have the donor cars lines and I believe they would have been useless anyway as I am in Australia and Holden runs the lines under the engine and to the left hand side of the engine. Is there a generic kit or perhaps a source for an OEM part I can use?
Also, I need to run power steering lines to my steering rack. I have installed a Steeroids rack and pinion kit into the car. No where local to me can make hoses up so I guess I need to buy something I can make myself. Any suggestions?

Perhaps a kit like this would help your power steering issue?

Maybe not that exact one but it might at least put you on a useable path.
Sorry, can't help with the trans.

Ok found out there is a hose shop down the road from where I work and I will make a trip down there tomorrow to see if they can make my hose up for me.
As for the 4L60e transmission cooling lines what do most people use for their conversions?

I'm fighting with cooler lines right now.
I have every issue you can imagine, clearance around the inlet and outlet on the transmission, a frame rail that is full of fuel, power and brake lines, etc.
I believe I am going to get a log style cooler and mount it on my driver side frame rail and loop -6 AN lines under the tail shaft P-clamp them to the floor and then to the cooler.
I just hope a 15" log style will cool the transmission enough on its own.
