#8 is too small. A friend had a 65 GTO with #8 lines to a remote filter. Kept spinning bearings, finally realized what he'd done wrong. Went to the larger line, no more problems.

My moroso remote oil filter mount said minimum -10. I am hoping to get away from remote all together with my new headers.

just in case i'll ask, what about for a cooler? does it really matter as long as it does flow?

Also don't use 90 degree elbows, if you need a 90, get a 90 deg hose end, they have an easier bend, less restrictive. A 90 elbow has a very sharp corner inside.
