Hey Guys and Girls, fitting headers to my car but they’re fouling the hard oil line at the rear of the engine, any ideas what parts I need to backdate the oil lines? For example do I need SC lines?

I was thinking I could just get a flexible braided oil line made up but I have no idea the fitting sizes, any help would be much appreciated, cheers Spence

I know when i got my SSIs i had to get new oil lines (pre-74). I reckon the same would apply for you.

Pelican says: If you are installing SSI heat exchangers (or a pre-1974 style exhaust) onto a 1978-89 911SC or 911 Carrera, then you need to replace TWO oil lines. These replacement lines are original parts used on earlier 911 models, but since 1978-89 models adopted a "cross-over" style exhaust system, the lines are different.

The part numbers necessary are the following:
• 911-107-739-10-M20 - One (1) needed
And either:
• 911-107-729-10-M20 - For cars WITH a Front Oil Cooler
OR
• 911-107-728-00-M20 - For cars WITHOUT a Front Oil Cooler
