The fittings from different manufacturers should not be interchanged. The fittings from different styles from the same manufacturer should not be interchanged. Be aware that AN (Airforce-Navy Standard) (the airplane stuff) and JIC (Joint Industry Standard) look identical. The SAE hose looks exactly the same as well but will more likely have 45 drgree flair angles rather than 37 degree flair angles.

All the fittings on the engine are AN fittings, and purchased from Summit Racing by me, unless Chris has changed something since my exit from the project.

The oil conduit hoses weren't the 3000 lb test but it wasn't cheap hose by any means. It was build-a-hose kinda stuff from Summit.

Unless he has changed things, the front oil pressure relief was stock and the rear oil pressure valve was stock.
The cooler was before the filter. The cooler was a mazda cooler.

The aftermarket oil filter mount has arrows on it indicating in/out for flow.
