oil lines are steel. copper would be easer but it work hardens and breaks. IMH opinion it is not good to use inside a engine or for brake lines.

I will try to get some better pictures when they are connected.
But they will run through main bearing support boss in to the lifter boss block, that I made for the lifters. I drilled a hole in the main bearing supports that has a champer . Then I flare the end of the line that fits in the champer. The insert bearning will keep the line down in the champer. just as clear mud right.
