Tranny cooler lines

How exactly are these routed I have them in but I cant seem to get them in so they don't hit the steering there supposed to be bellow the motor mounts on the front crossmember right? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They go above the motor mounts and there is a clamp for them that bolts on the front lower corner of the block.

After thinking about it for a minute, now I'm not sure on the above or below the motor mounts. I was thinking above, but I may be wrong. The only auto I have to look at, the engine and trans are both out and I can't remember for sure LOL! I think above though.

If I try to put them above the motor mounts they hit the starter so they have to go bellow but I can't find any where for the bolt to go there's one just like it that bolts down the ground that goes to the block but nothing else anywhere on the frame and thats above the motor mounts so it wont work it's pretty confusing

I think where that ground is, is where that bracket bolts. Is there a stud coming off the top of a bolt head, and another bolt hole right above it?

Yea but I thought that was for the power wire going to the starter? I've got to find out where that bracket goes then on further examination I do not have the right bracket for the lines I only have one for the original cooler I just need a pic of that side of the engine/frame and I'd be golden

I think you're right on the wire. I knew there was a wire there. I've only had one auto, and I tore it apart! LOL!

Yea this truck was originally a 5spd with a 351w infront of it so I'm basicly rebuilding the entire power train and I'm at the point where I'm buttoning systems battery cables wiring the starter and replacing the tranny cooler I'm really kicking my self for not taking more pictures when I was tearing it apart

I'm hoping someone can take a pic for me tomarrow during the day. I've got to drop off my driveshaft tomarrow to get it shortened 75 bucks plus parts not bad at all. But I'd like to install my new tranny cooler but I need to get these lines figured out first
