The Fittings
< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
Just showing some of the fittings I used, there will be a full run down of them on my "Parts" page.
  There's a noticable lack of braided lines on my buildup as opposed to others I've seen.  I'm cheap, I'm on a budget of what's in my pocket and there just isn't enough benefit for braided stainless over rubber lines on the majority of it.  The only ones I don't trust as being rubber is the oil supply line to head and turbo.  Too much bad experience with rubber lines and pressurized oil.
  There is also the problem of getting the fittings I decided on into proper postion with any of the brackets on because I didnt' want to use abunch of extra swivel fittings (*cheaper this way*) and when I got these set into position, they should work just about perfectly... or so I hope!!
  The oil to the head is being plumbed directly into the "front most" oil gallery by removing the pipe plug and putting in a fitting. It may need to put in a restrictor for this to not over oil the head, but I'm not convinced yet so I'm going to try running it without to start.
  There will be pictures of the actual lines in position when I get the last few fittings I need to plumb the oil feed and coolant feed/drainbacks.
  -There are (2)12mm X 1.25 fittings on the back side of the SRT-4 turbo I'm using that aren't supposed to be taken out... mine were missing and they are backordered all across the board right now!!
Hose nipples rather than AN fittings... call me a cheap bastard!!
Large one is drainback, and the  braided line(s) are for oil feed
