Transmission cooler lines

Good morning all. I need some help. I am putting my engine and transmission back in the car and can not seem to find any tranny cooling lines for it. It is a 1975 Delta 88 with a 350. Any ideas were I can find some?

If you are not going for a 100% original look, your local jobber store will have 5/16 - inch diameter lines with pre-made ends. These can be had in the very workable copper-nickel type material which makes them very easy to route and bend. Using some mechanics bailing wire, you can mock up the path taken by them between transmission and radiator to get the length you need. I am not sure if vendors offer ready made lines for the large Oldsmobiles, but, in all honesty, all engine/transmission and distance to the radiators are very close to one another over the various models of cars, and, with a bit of ingenuity, something slightly off can be made to work!
