Hey All, I'm in the middle of v6 to v8 swap and had a question about the differences in the hard brake line connections at the rear of the vehicle. I took out the 7.5 and have the 8.8 ready to be bolted up, but the brake line coming off the 8.8 is not going to hook up to the hardlines coming from the front. Anyone know the answer to this dilemma? Thanks alot, I'm sure I'll be on here often.

The solution I had is to find a junked V8 and unbolt the hard line, then swap it to the V8. No real way around it that I know of.
