well if you can find the right areo quip (sp?) fittings, and some SS line. all you need is a pair of wenches and something to cut the line with...

although the fittings are very hard to find I think. the threads are odd.

the parts are also pretty expensive. your best bet is to just buy the pre made ones for around $175.

 

I can find the fittings but how do I connect the host to the fittings? I'm sure I need some kind of clamp or something.

 

hacksaw, some electrical tape, and an AN wrench.

 

close... aeroquip.

Fittings? You mean to attach the line fittings to the block? Most any store selling Holley products can order you the proper adaptors.

IMO... its is not worth the $8 or so you save to make your own lines when you can buy assembled ones for $175.

 

well, I am not just oging to build oil cooler lines but for the turbo lines as well. what i'm looking for is a tool for crimping the fittings to the hose.

 

all you do is stick the hose into the fitting and tighten the nut with a wench...

 

Usually the anodized fittings don't "crimp" on, as aluminum doesn't really like to bend like that...

 

but do you know the the size and thread pitch? I've seen lots of poeple having problems trying to find ones that will screw in. it's some odd size I think.

 

o ok. so there is really no special crimpting tool for it. all i do is tighten the nut and that should clamp the fittings to the hose. thanks guys.

here you go

 

that helps a lot. thanks.

 

I agree with making your own. They charge $120 for 4 feet of metal masters steel lines. And the lines look cheap.

 

yeah, i think it should be pretty easy to do. i'll just pressure test it to make sure that there is no leak.
