A must item for reman engine

Goodridge stainless braided OMP lines for $79.00 at www.gothamracing.com

It was too late for me though as I had buttoned up my engine before this came out. To do so now require removal of air pump, alternator, UIM, rats nest, ignition coils, oil filler neck. So I'm SOL. (Not really as I used new OEM lines.

definitely very nice, but at double the cost (at least), I don't think there is a true need.

The OEM lines, if replaced are proven to last a very long time without failure. Plus, the OEM lines are smaller and are articulated so they fit very well without causing any potential space problem. (of course, those lines would't be a problem either)

Would maybe good for very high heat applications (huge single turbo) but probably overkill otherwise.

Thats nice but......

A local shop here in Tampa (Amazon Hose)made mine for about half that price and in about ten minutes. They will definitely last forever though.

Very nice!! I looked at mine funny and they shattered!! A bit pricey though. you can buy a kit to make your own lines for around that much. But very nice and ready to go. That sometimes makes it worth it!

So you are not going to tell us how to get in touch with these people?

those are very nice looking. I have always worried that a broken belt might catch and break the hard plastic stock lines.

Information

Amazon hose and rubber company: Chicago (773)884-2192, Miami (305)576-1640, Orlando (407)843-8190, and Tampa (813)223-7554 I took mine but if their is'nt one near you then I'm sure you could send the oem one's with a brief discription and contact info. I always pay cash but I'm sure they take credit cards. They can make pretty much anything. Thats where I got my oil lines made for my T-78.....as you all know greddy does not sell them seperate. Fuel lines oil lines, they sell silicone hose, heavy duty clamps, fittings, they can drill and tap whatever you can take over their. They kick *** but they are'nt cheap so bring some mulla. Hope this helps. Jorge C
