I put the new engine/trans in but forgot to put on the trans cooler lines. I can't really get em in now that the block is bolted down etc. Is there an alternative method i could do...or a way I can get these trans cooler lines in?

 

I ran mine with the longblock in and the front of the car way up on jackstands. It's a PITA, but it can be done.

and as long as they are not rusty, it won't hurt them if you carefully bend them when installing
