727 trans line routing

[431Bird]

Hey, how u guys running your trans lines to the cooler to the front of radiator..have 2 1/8 tti step headers..looked like long the frame rail was best,but then having to go around brake distribution block could be pain..anyways was just curious.
Thanks

I've always made mine from hand bendable brake line tubing, run it next to the oil pan, then over the K frame & up to the cooler. Similar to factory routing, but not run to the radiator.

I use -6 braided line. Out the trans and straight over to the frame rail...then up to the radiator/cooler.

You will find many different answers on which ATF to use. What type of performance level are you shooting for? That may narrow down the choices ... a little. lol

Type F.

In the old days I ran Type F in my 727's. In my newer car I went to Castrol Dex/Merc. Not sure of the difference.
