Default 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.

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"??

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...

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......
