What lines and fittings are being used? I know you have to keep them away from heat, but is there factory lines I can buy that will fit or is my best bet to make some. Also where are the coolers being mounted? All tips and ideas will be greatly appreciated!

Aren't really any factory lines per se' unless you can figure out how to use the stock ones from say an f-body.

Your best bet is to make your own. The fittings you need are -6AN to 1/4" NPSM.....Jegs or Summit sell them. Get the ones with crush washers, not nylon...see the link.

As for the cooler, maybe the third gen guys can chime in on mounting locations.

Would those fittings lead me to hardlines or braided flex lines?
