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.
do they 100% have to be stock? I can get a set local but the guy wants $100...glad to be the middle man for ya but that price seems a bit steep
Got your pm...thanks, but yeah 100 bucks seems steep to me.

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.
