I can't help you with the fitting sizes. I removed the crimp at the rubber hose and replaced the hose with new hose clamps, not the best fix but it stoped it from leaking. Maybe I will get new ones made when my money tree starts bearing fruit again . Maybe you should start a new thread and ask Crazy about the fittings and where to get them. I am sure he will know.

The length for my truck comes out 50" and 53" so 103" so 8 1/2 feet, 10 feet gives you a little room for mistakes The best way to do it would be to cut them 5' each, Put a straight fitting on the line then thread them onto the Engine block 90s then you can route them about where they are going to go, I always wrap the braided line with tape then cut thru the tape and line leave the tape on until you are ready to put the fitting on, that keeps the line from coming unbraided
I used Adel clamps in place of the plastic clips that mount on the driver side Motor mountName:  clip.jpg
