3/8 stainless line with NPT ends??
 

I am looking for a flexible 3/8 stainless steel line with 3/8 NPT ends already on it, hopefully a swivel type, I am adding an oil cooler to my small block, I have the cooler and the block for filter, just looking for lines now, anyone know who may have something like that?

I would just go to an aeroquip distributor and have them made up.

I might, I actually found something on ebay that may work

Are you using this for your actual oil line? It seems pretty small to me,Smitty

I may go 1/2 inch but the cooler adaptor has 3/8 outlets so i figured the 3/8 would be OK, should I do 1/2"??

sounds like you might have a power steering cooler

No doubt, You need a cooler with 1/2" NPT bungs on it. If this is for engine oil, you will also want to plumb in -10 Aeroquip style fitting and hose. You can run a "push lock" style hose which is a bit less expensive and works well. I have most of what you need in stock. You know how to find me...:D

How big is the cooler, diameter and length........When running oil lines it is always better to run at least a # 10 hose. the price difference between a push lock and a regular end is a little more exspensive but worth piece of mind..........Plus if you upgrade engine performance you already have the oil system up to par......The push locks scare me.....If ya use them i would hose clamp them......

jdub fire some pics of that 27 excaliber, love those boats

what's up man. I will have some soon, putting the new mill in next weekend:D

That thred is over a year old and still has the best info for a guy in a oil dilema............

I just wish the rest of the members/people on this board would help each other like Smitty trys , theres so many very knowledgeable people here,even big engine builders that want say anything!! even when someone tells somebody something wrong:mad:

Good link! I am running my buddys old stock 502 cooler, he upgraded his on his 353 and gave me this, I figure it will be better then the nothing it has had since 1988, I am not sure if any small block boat has them, I know the old ones did not, that is why I am adding it now.

Thanks, Tim
