1970 Chrysler 300 and Imperial LeBaron Trans cooler lines??

["Bill Watson" <wwatson@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, the Chrysler lines will be about 3" too short.  The Chrysler had a
wheelbase of 124" while the Imperial was 127".  And the difference was in
the hood.  As the enigne is in the same relation to the firewall in both
cars, the engine (and thus the transmission) is farther away from the
radiator on the Imperial.  This holds true for all 1967-73 Imperials.

Now, if you owned a 1974-75 Imperial it would be no problem.   The Imperial
was on the same 124" wheelbase as the Chrysler.
