Poundz9oh9 Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Motor's set to go in next week ... ummm or the week after I don't have the steel hardlines for the transmission cooling lines (700R4). Has anybody used copper tubing for a substitue? It's easier to bend but will it do the job just as well? Is it a good idea or should I go the "the yard" looking for the steel stuff?

A. G. Olphart Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Copper works, but normal vibrations cause it to work harden and crack. We had a tranny line on a torqueflite crack and break at a tranny fitting: Gusher. Good thing it happened in a town and not on the road.

Tim240z Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Get some aluminum line. It is nice and easy to bend and flare.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
