I run a pair of -12s for the upper port(s) its easier that way if you run a remote water pump since the outlets of the meziere block adapters are -12 on either side

I used 1.5" aluminum tube on the bottom and 4 (-16)s on the motor.

Just for clarification, I've got 2 16 feeding the top ports, 2 16s returning the water to the radiator on the bottom ports.
