Transmission lines
 

I have reinstalled an engine and transmission in my sons car and dumb me forgot to hook the transmission lines to the transmission before installing it all the way and now I am having a real hard time getting in there to hook the lines up, and really am not sure which end is the transmission side and which is the radiator side on one of the lines because it looks like it would be sideways on both ends. Is there some kind of trick to getting these things on after the engine is installed (I am guessing here has to be a way since you don't have to pull the engine to do a transmission swap or anything) but I have btried for hours and can't seem to get my hand in there to install the lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It really doesnt matter which way they hook it goes to the trans cooler easy way to do it is hook one up at a time start with the top one first an then do the bottom

remove the trans crossmember, be careful of the distributor, and lower the back of the trans as far as you can. It will be tight, but it will work.
