Re: Will these trans lines work for my 66?

I just bought a 25~50 foot coil of tubing and bent my own for the 65...did buy the finelines stainless brakelines- dont know if I'd do that again- they are nice, but so freaking hard that you gott torque the living crap out of them...still suprised I didnt break any of the fittings off...

the tranny line-Like FE said- aint got that much pressure, and with a cheap bender you can make them fit like OEM or better...getting the prebent lines in can be a PITA too- I bent what I could, snaked it in place and bent/cut as needed...really cant picture getting a one piece prebent in there without at least jacking the motor up...

Re: Will these trans lines work for my 66?

Honestly the motor and tranny are out and actually started putting it back together tonight. And honestly I don't mind paying for the pre-bents, one thing off the checklist. Here are some photos of my beast for you to enjoy!

Looks like she's gonna be a purdy old Gal

Pre bent tranny lines are a huge waste of money...

But if ya got the extra, go ahead, it's your money, not ours
