Trans Swap

Anybody an expert? I am in the middle of the 7.3 to 6.0 swap and wanted to confirm the in and out lines of each cooler. All the links to the websites that were writeups seem to be dead.

Your putting in a 6.0L in place of a 7.3L?

Never dived deep enough into the swapping out the engines so I have no idea

My recollection is that the forward line (closer to the front pump) is the pressure line and the rear is the return line to the pan. But it has been a while...

That is correct.

The complete routing is from the front of the transmission to the radiator cooler. From the radiator cooler to the aux cooler, and from the aux cooler to the rear of the transmission.
