Oil Filter Lines
Rebuilding my 01 350 mpi small blocks. Went with Hardin seaward exhaust but the stock lines to remote oil filter are preventing me from bolting manifolds on. Tried bending them but to no avail. Thinking of making my own with black braided hose from summit. Any recommendations on hose and fittings? What size AN fittings? I’m hearing -10 hose, just don’t know what size fittings will mate up to what I got

Realized after some assemble that due to exhaust and closed cooling kits I now have to completely relocate remote oil filter. Just not going to work due to the additional hoses. Thinking either center stringer or transom wall but need some bracket ideas or new kits, anyone got any ideas?

I am just redoing the remote filter lines and the oil cooler lines on my boat. I went with black XRP Fittings and XR-31 black nylon braided hose from CP Performance. Was a cheaper solution than getting hoses made at the Parker Store. If you go with the push on hose you need to also use the crimp on retainers however the tool for that is $90.
Good Luck,
Pete

Hardin makes some pretty brackets and filter heads.
Are those crimps specified for those fittings? I don’t know and just asking. Hose clamps on push-on fitting actually compromise the integrity of the union.

XRP Push On Hose recommends that an XRP Ensure Clamp be used with their push on hose and push on fittings in race and high temperature applications. The Ensure Clamps are self tensioning and are installed and removed with Ensure Clamp Pliers. They look similar in construction to Oetker Clamps.
