Getting my new engines ready for install. 572 cu and huber 1450 transmissions. Looking into AN hoses and fittings. Question is what is the best hose material and type of fittings and size to use?

Make sure you look up the actual spec sheet from the manufacturer of any line you are considering and make sure it has the correct temp rating for the fluids you'll be running through it.

Aeroquip Performance | Performance Plumbing, Hoses and Fittings. Pricey but excellent.

The SS is nice but a mf when you get poked by those little cat whiskers everyone knows about. Plus gotta be careful with arcing. I purchased Fragola and Russel from jegs With good results also. Example.

just stay with the same product and don't go for the cheap eBay chinaman crap.

CNC Motorsports has fragola also. I've purchased numerous different products from them and they are a good competitive company also. Friendly and Fast shipping also.

In fact my last Callie's crank came from there.

You are so correct. Mix matching hose and fittings not a good idea.
