yeah im not sure if its long enough but if you got an inline filter and another -4an line you would still be under 100 bucks.

How did this thing turn out? I've been pricing out everything as well. Even with the actual FP inline filter ($70) and lines and fittings sourced off ebay, my total looks about $150 - $175 with shipping. There's nothing wrong with ebay ss braided lines right?

Does anyone know the banjo bolt size for the oil feed line on the head? 10mm x 1.25 or 12mm x 1.25?

what kind of setup did you use off the filter housing? I have a 3/8bspt to 1/8npt adapter already. Did you use this adapter too, or something else to go from bspt to the AN line? Also, did you use a 120* bend like the FP line or something else (90* seems to be easier to find)? Thanks..

What exactly are you needing? I have some pieces I don't need anymore and also have a MAP oil feed line with everything with it for sale.
