i need help!!

i have read that i might need a fitting to do this... but not sure. Can the factory 89 Irocz brake hardline attach to the LS1 disc rearend's rubber line that comes from the T block on that rear?

i'm at this point in the swap where i need to disconnect my stock rubber to hardline fitting to get the rear end out... as seen in this pic. before i do this, i need to know if the stock ls1 rear end line will attach to my stock 89 brake hardline as is.

if i do need a fitting, what do i need to get???

I replied to your PM, but I think I misread what you are asking.
I kept the stock rubber line and stock "T" from my stock rear and just put brand new hardlines on the rear end from the "T" to the rubber LS1 lines, due to my stock hardlines rusting and leaking..

ahh i see. thats what i thought u ment and you must have misunderstood what i wrote.

given this case, do you think it will work the way i describe??

or will i have to take my stock T block, disconnect the 9 bolt hardlines from it, and plug in the LS1 hardlines from the LS1 rear? i dont need adapters for that do I? they just screw in right?

I would do it this way. and they should just screw in.

I just checked a stock LS1 T-line against a 3rd gen T line and they have the same type of fitting at that joint, it should just screw right on. Good luck!
