    Anyone know which cooling lines to use between an '87 AOD and a '67 mustang aluminum radiator? Will the '87 pre-bent steel line work or is there another pre-bent option I should be looking at?

    I'd rather stay away from using hoses if at all possible.

    Thanks

    I used 5/16" X 36" brake line from Autozone the bends off the AOD were gentle and done by hand from the AOD to the B&M transmission cooler they ran along the 302's oil pan.From the AOD's initial bends the lines are almost straight going to the cooler.I had some good Pix on my old computer files I lost when I upgraded hopefully when I install the remote hard drive I can recover them.

    I recommend this http://www.amazon.com/70266-SuperCooler-Automatic-Transmission-Cooler/dp/B000CIKCQ2 (free Shipping) This unit will mount behind the grille on the p***enger side it has 1/2" NPT fittings a trip to ACE Hardware will provide you with the 1/2" to 5/16" 90 degree fittings to hook it up I plugged the radiator fittings some folks run it through the radiator I always have just used a stand alone cooler in my projects.
