Information provided by: NightWalkerAncestery Just got done doing this to my 87. It's a good idea to do. I would also do the flex line from the fuel pump to the hardline as it almost ALWAYS rusts out at the 90* curve and maybe even the hardline to fuel filter. I used metric to AN adapters for the fuel filter for better flow. 90* on bottom and straight on top. Here's a list of everything you would need if you did things the way I did.

Looking to make my own lines so can make a nice proper fit of my spearco/tep intercooler. What size and thread are the fittings? Also looking for other than stock oil cooler installs would someone like to share pics and install write ups? EDIT IN the fittings you need are m16x1.5 on both the the oil cooler and oil filter header side. The banjos are 16mm, so you can use a 16mm banjo with either slip on and crimp type or threaded 16mm to AN ADAPTORS. PM me for links.
