ok
Sorry fastback..I tried to take some pics...everythings so tight and high the line I re-routed... ya can't see at all. Like I said earlier - I was lucky to have the trans and engine out and together so that I could do a dry run with the headers/starter on and did my own bending. Perhaps someone knows something of flexable tubing or another "frame" route now that their in..
Let us know.

Like Johnny said, from the bottom is the BEST way to do it. We just did a 70 challenger with motor, trans, trans xmember, starter, kframe, headers, steering box all in 1 shot.
i have ttis and ran my stainless lines alright...they come close to touching but so does everything else under there.
As far as the trans lines go, I made such a mess of mine by the time I bent, kinked and squashed them to try and get them to clear the TTI's that after giving it some thought overnight I pulled them out completely and ran flexible line down the chassis rail.
I don't have a cooler in the radiator [aluminium] so I ran them straight out through the radiator support panel to a large cooler in front of the radiator.
You probably can get them to clear the headers but there is so little room left that you will have the headers heating up your trans fluid.
Doing it this way, you have enough room to crawl under and bolt up the k-frame and trans mount? Sure sounds like a great way to do it.

Where did you get the flexible line from and what are the specs for that line (fitting types etc)?
Right on Bill...Most Excellent!!
