Default Oil Cooler Lines

I would just go to the machine shop tomorrow and explain what I am needing but I'm leaving town at 5am and won't be back until they're closed. Therefore I need to ask some questions here so I can get them back as soon as possible.

I'm putting a turbo oil cooler on my 89 N/A. I have the cooler and the oil filter plate.

What size JIC connectors does the factory cooler have?

What size and length should the lines be?

I was reading somewhere on here, about using a braided nylon line because it's pretty easy to work with. Anyone have a name for it beyond my description

Thanks.

Anyone use a standard cooler? Lots of race shops near me and I can get a cooler for $60. Anyone have pics of the connection to the block and the lines they are running?

Why not use the stock lines? They hold up very well and are formed to fit in that tight space. Drop me a PM if you are interested in getting a set.

I have one new (#3) and the other is used and came off of an 87. Do you have the metal pipe that comes off the oil cooler and connects to the flex line?

Right now I have nothing. But the used NASCAR store has a lot of used coolers.
