Transmission lines 4L60e to stock 71 rad cooler
Help, I have looked and read lots on this topic and the more I search the more conflicting answers come up.
Can I ask this question one more time? Looking for the fitting size and tread type form a 4L60e to stock 71 radiator transmission cooler. I will be running a hose replacement. Thanks so much! |
Re: Transmission lines 4L60e to stock 71 rad cooler
You'll want 1/4" NPS fittings at the trans.

Now what size is need to the stock 1971 GMC rad cooler,and hose size recommended. |

I'm sure someone will remember,
I know this has been asked many times! |
Re: Transmission lines 4L60e to stock 71 rad cooler
The original tube is 5/16". Regular tube nuts with a double flare on the tubing should go in both the factory trans. fitting (the "adapter" fitting that racecouger mentioned) & your radiator.
You will want to use either metal tube or braided hose with correct ends...regular rubber hose & clamps is NOT the way to go. Lorne |

So a 5/16 male inverted flare fitting is what I need?

I used these fittings with the stock 4l60e lines.

Ran AN fittings and Russell flex lines neatly along the frame right into the radiator cooler.

Daaaan67-can't send you a private message your box is full. Have a question in another thread about your dbw gas peddle bracket.

Re: Transmission lines 4L60e to stock 71 rad cooler
Double-check which is inlet and which is outlet on the trans, as they're not all the same. I don't know which way the 4L60E runs, but for example the TH400 and 200-4R are reversed from one another I think.

Re: Transmission lines 4L60e to stock 71 rad cooler
Guys, I'm running a Champion EC369 radiator and will be retaining that for my 5.3/4L60E swap. Can I reuse the lines from the TH350? I would prefer to go that route if possible. My second choice would be to go with AN fittings and line. I know they make the adapters for the transmission side but not sure what I need to adapt the cooler side. According to Champion, the fittings in the radiator are 1/2" 20 straight thread G 1/4".

Re: Transmission lines 4L60e to stock 71 rad cooler
You can use your old lines, you will just need adapters maybe at the trans..
|
Re: Transmission lines 4L60e to stock 71 rad cooler
Any ideas which adapters I would need for this?

Re: Transmission lines 4L60e to stock 71 rad cooler
Bringing this back to the top. I have the correct AN adaptors at the transmission (4L60e) now which AN fittings do I need to thread into my radiator? Specs of the EC369 state that the trans cooler fittings are 1/2" 20 STRAIGHT THREAD G1/4. Also which is in and out of the radiator? Top I would assume is the inlet...thanks all.
