1973 Newport Trans Lines

[badvs3vil]

Hello,

I am looking to find new transmission coolant lines for my 73 Newport Custom with a 727.

Ive looked at the normal places with no luck.

Anyone know of a place that I havent checked?

Thanks!

These should be close enough to work:

I don't think anyone makes C body specific cooler lines.

Also available in stainless steel:

71-72-73-74 MOPAR B BODY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES 727 BIG BLOCK SS | eBay

I called inline tubes. I was told that the B might work, but it might be best to go with one of these.

Speaking from experience, B and C 727 lines are the same and will fit.
Depending what year you may have to tweak the lines at the rad a little.
Hope this helps.

@badvs3vil -- is this the listing you had in mind?

On this basis, and the advice of @71Polara383, I will buy either of the following trans cooler lines for Ming, my 1973 Chrysler NYB:

1. from Van's, for 1969-1971 C-bodies with BB engines: Transmission Cooler Lines 1969 - 1971 C-Body Big Block with 727 Trans

2. from Inline Tube, for 1969-1970 Chryslers: 1969-70 Chrysler Newport New Yorker 300 V8 727 124.0

They kinda look the same, but in 2D it's difficult to tell. @cbarge ?

PS: Van's steeliness are $45, IT's steelies are $50 but they also make a SS set available for $75.

Dont buy stainless!!!
They WILL leak at the fittings.
Been there done that, wrecked the fittings and threads trying to tighten them....
Stainless is very hard and the flares do not " crush" seal like regular steel.
Van's are fine. Used them before without any fitment issues.
BTW, I have B body lines on the Boab.
Just had to tweak the lines at the rad to reach the fittings. To the naked eye nobody sees anything different.
Hope this helps.

Yeah this is what ended up using. I have a temp gauge on the trans and it's been perfect
