transmission swap

[silverado13]

my two piece bell housing 4l60e transmission recently imploaded so i went to the junk yard and grabbed a 4l60e out of a 98 z71 which has a one piece bell housing, so far the problem ive ran into is that the transmission lines dont meet up to the tansmission anymore due to the more round diameter if the one piece bell housing..... has anyone ever swapped them out and if so, how did you solve this problem and did you run into any other major issues?


ill be doing a write up fro disassembling the imploaded transmission and doing the swap as soon as i finish

I would either get some lines from the yard, or go to the parts store to get a couple of lengths of tubing and bend them up yourself if you have the tools to do so.

well i have a trans cooler that all i did was cut the line and put hose with hose clamps so i wonder if i could just do that, does anyone know what the psi is coming out of the transmission going towards the radiator? that would be the high side if it has one and that would be the only side i would really have to worry about

I don't know the PSI but I have run high-pressure fuel line for transmission lines without issue for a couple years.
Not the "right" thing to do but it works, I'd do what horns suggested if you have the ability to do so. In my case I had 0 time/dollars so that's what I did, it worked. I always planned on "fixing" it later but I never got around to it. It never gave me any leaks.

i would just go back to the junkyard i got it from but i cut the hard lines to make the transmission drop easier
