For those LS7 owners/builders.

Have you used -12 fittings and pipe for all the oil pipe runs including the oil cooler?

I did/do for SBC, but you will probably need a few swivelhead connectors, due to the stiffnes of the -12 hoses.

We used the standard Ultima kit, which I believe is -12 from memory.

Thanks guys. It's what I suspected.

Got to go and pick up some stuff now so I can connect it all over the next few days.

6 deg C here this morning but frost forecast for tonight.

Try the Brown & Miller hoses . Super flexible. I have done all the oil job with their -12 and -16 hose without problems. You can get a few for testing on Ebay. Awesome.

Thanks, will look into that. Still have some issues with the short distance between the 4 scavenge outputs on the sump and the 4 seperate inputs on my oilpump.
