Hey, I'm looking to buy some pre-made power steering lines for my LT1 swap. I saw in z28*****'s sig that he makes them, but he hasn't responded to my PM yet.

Anyone know of a place I can get them pre-made? Hell same goes for fuel lines.

I got 95 caprice lines, they fit with minor bending. I have heard 95 impala ss lines fit perfectly. My caprice high pressure line ran $32 at o'reileys. Then for the return line, just get whatever length you need of PS line, it sells by the foot. If you have the old 4th f-body ps lines, I have heard they fit with minor bending too, but to buy them new costs too much.

i dont know about the LT1 specificly, but i know with the LS1... the 4thgen power steering lines ment for the rack fit perfectly into the 3rdgen powersteering box.

I took a look at the lines the engine came with today while I was working on the car. It looks like they should work.. I'll find out for sure when the engine is in the car.

The Caprice lines and the Impala lines are the EXACT same lines because the two cars are mechanically identical.

Maybe I got lines for a non-LT1 caprice. Still, to bend the lines wasn't difficult.

The earlier non-LT1 has the puimp on the other side of the motor. The 94-96 LT1 line works great with only minor rebending. This comes up enough that I should have taken a before/after pic of mine when I did my swap

If you unround the stock LT1 lines you can reroute them and with a little rebending the will fit without having any made. The one line is just hose you can buy any where and is held on with clamps. This is the return line.
