Looking for new oil line and water injection line

Ok cool, I'm going to check into this more and post back up. I think I'll take some pics tomorrow of the fittings, they are reverse flare (I think that's what they're called) and post them here so maybe you can tell me what I need for sure haha.

I was planning on running the line next to the fuel lines, but maybe I'll look for somewhere else now haha. I don't like the thought of it rubbing through the lines, and I don't really want to run any kind of soft line down there for fear of it getting torn or ripped off by something going under the car. Maybe I'll either try to run it at the top of the tranny tunnel or I'll run it next to the fuel lines and just wrap it with wire loom or something.

Where did you get your braided nylon hose? I don't want mine leaking on the engine either haha.

I believe I do have the Shurflo pump too, I know it's the common pump used so I believe it's the same. The outlet side of the pump already has a small fitting on it, but the inlet is larger, maybe I'll just leave the inlet side alone with the plastic tubing, but I'd rather swap it all out at once. I wouldn't have trouble finding a flared adapter fitting for 3/8 to -4, but the problem is I have an inline filter, pressure sensor and the injector that would require compatible connectors since I can't swap out the fittings on them, know what I mean?
