Converting Oil Cooler Hard Lines

[idealer]

How do you convert over your cooler lines, my engine had partial hard lines that I whacked off and welded on some AN threads now my dumb ass realized the fittings are too close to the pan bolts to thread on the hoses...

You could cut it back off and weld a heavy wall extension in between with a slight bend in it for clearance.

get a lowhead socket allen bolt that should give the needed clearnce. look in mcmastercarr for those bolts

you can't clock or adjust the adapter any? if not takesome material off the sealing face in a lathe so it rotates slightly..

Agree, it shouldn't take much to clock it that small amount.

Another easy fix would be a short spacer.

Easy, is in the shop of the beholder. A spacer may or may not be so on the interior. But it may be worth taking a look.
