727 tranny lines

[mopar367]

I have a big block 727 tranny in a dodge ram. With the headers and kickdown cable it is tight in by the tranny lines. I have brass fittings on there now with rubber hose. I then double clamped that to 3/8 hardlines up to my tranny cooler.

I had one of the tranny lines pop on me a while back before I double clamped them. So I was wondering should I just use hardlines directly from the tranny eliminating the rubber chunks? Or is there a better way to hook up a flexible piece that wont pop off with pressure?

Since my 2002 ram messed up I am going to have to use the old 440 ram as a Daily driver, so looking to make it more reliable.

I use hard line wherever possible. Don't even think about it. Just do it! And you'll be glad you did. Here is my tranny cooler.

Well guess ill try to get a piece in there to fit. Maybe ill use a short hardline with a union to a longer one up to the cooler. Might be easier to work in there, as opposed to fighting a 6 foot hardline underneath.
