Are LT1 and LS1 brake hoses interchangeable?

Hello,

I need to get longer front brake hoses for my LT1 with the LS1 brake caliper upgrade. It looks like the LS1 brake hoses bought brand-new will connect right in two where my LT1 brake hoses went. I am not sure though, does anyone know or has anyone done this with success?

Thank you

They should thread right up to the hard lines on your car, both are 10x1 thread.

I was about to say why would you use what I would expect to be me more expensive Corvette hoses over the OE correct hose for the car...but the c5 hoses are like 3 or 4 bucks cheaper under my NAPA account, good info. Here's the c5 part # if anyone wants it UP-382405. The c5 hose is about 3 inches longer though...so be careful the line doesn't get rubbed.

LS1 f-body hoses are a tad bit longer because the caliper is larger. Suggested to use when changing out from LT1 to Vette brakes. Don't use Corvette hoses for either f-body ls1 or vette calipers. Way too long.
