anybody running a 4l80e with the -6 fittings on the trans? if so did you use straight hose ends or 90's from the lines to the trans? I had straight fittings on the 60E but I'm thinking 90's may do better for clearance. pics would be awesome.

Definitely not strait. I would do 90's. I think I did one 90 and one 45 degree and i should have used 90's on both of them. I'll try to remember to get a pic when I get home.

My rear fitting is a 90* and my front fitting on the trans is a 45*. It just worked better with running the lines together.

Does using a 90 on the front fitting cause the hose to kinda run straight into/toward the bell housing? Not that the hose isn't flexible, but I torn between 45 and 90 on the front fitting. lol I got all the parts I need, shy of the rear drive shaft, to complete the swap. luckily when I did the hoses on the 60E I left enough in length that I don't have to buy new.
