I'm getting closer to installing my -6 oil cooler and lines. I have seen numerous ways of running the lines incl through the longs, under the rockers etc. but I have not decided yet. If you would comment on how you ran your lines and the positive and negatives of the end results, it would make a good thread and go perfect with the recent oil cooler thread.. Pictures would be helpful.

Mine go under gas tank up into heater down tube, behind speaker grills, into heater tubes, out into engine area to sandwich adapter...very clean.
My hoses actually run through the orginal flex heater hoses in the front cowl area and the area behind the speaker grill on the passenger side. From inside the car you see nothing out of the ordinary. also helps keep the heat from the hot oil out of passenger compartment.

Here is a pic of the front trunk area.
The opening you see that was cut in the bulk head was the only metal cut for the installation of the hoses themselves.
