so....do you have the answer :doh:

I'm pretty sure the info exists somewhere in these forums. Use the search thingy. They will probably have to change out the fittings on the heat exchanger.

trying to avoid that. its the one piece I'm missing...car is pretty much done but that and sitting on a lift waiting to be finished up. i heard that TK autosport makes a part but know one i know has tried it yet.

Did you order the parts yourself? I've seen people on FB who've installed the TK kit. It's too pricey for my liking.

Are they using the factory heat exchanger or aftermarket?

doesn't apply since I'm not replacing the tranny, but thanks. thats a great find. i am doing the cooler and pump w an fittings but can't get the lines to connect to the cooler due to the funky connection ford uses.:ford:

I think it does apply if you are using all ford components, the line/cooler kit fittings should match up fine at the cooler whether you are changing transmission or not. Now, the fittings at the transmission and external pump might be another story...

I'm getting my coolers mixed up.

It either won't work at the pump or cooler if you use factory lines one or the other. My issues is the cooler

Unclear on what you're installing but I'd go with AN lines at all connections. A bit more expensive but worth it. If you got the OEM cooler, the lines are useless.

Tank- I am installing the Oem tranny cooler and Tilton pump. I need to get the fragola braided line to connect to the oem cooler but the oem cooler doesn't use an AN fitting. See pic above. Any ideas are appreciated.

Can that fitting be swapped out?
Looks like it's a press line on and band clamp?? Not good.

If you bothered to read one of the links I posted you'd have read the key part ... "The factory lines have to be cut and transitioned to the AN lines"

If you look at the all the people who've installed external pump solutions, they've used an aftermarket heat exchanger, as far as I can tell.

Uh, there you go. Apparently, there's a bung involved.

I think some have cut it just below the flange. I also heard the TK Autosoorts has an adapter but I don't know of anyone that has used one
