Tranny cooling

I'm putting a 700-r4 into a car that used to have a T-5. I need to route the tranny cooler lines to a seperate tranny cooler radiaor that I bought, but this radiator has AN fittings (I bought the radiator from some guy hard into drag racing). Well I need to make lines to connect the tranny to the tranny cooler (the tranny cooler is in front of the engine radiator). I need to know what size threads/or fittings I need to buy to properly connect hoses to the tranny. Can anyone give me a hand?

I took my tranny cooler to a place that makes high pressure hydraulic hoses for heavy equipment and trucks. I also took a fitting for the trans end of the lines. I told them exactly how long to make each line. They used this high pressure Goodyear Instigrip hose and made some beautiful lines for me. And they were not very expensive either. They had this huge machine that they put the hose/fitting into and it crimps it down and it won't ever leak. See if you can find a place like that in your area. The name of the place I went is Pirtek but I don't know if they are national or local. Check the yellow pages for hydraulic lines, truck equipment repair, heavy equipment repair, etc.... Good luck.
