Default Who remembers these?

Who remembers those eBay auctions not too long ago for that LT1 metal coolant line replacement kit? It was a kit that included some AN fittings and some -6AN line and it replaced the rusty unattractive coolant line on the passenger side of the engine/intake? I'm trying to gather parts on summit so I can make one myself, and could even do a writeup on it, but I need to know if anyone has any pics of an LT1 engine from the rear/back of intake/cylinder heads/engine, and I need some thread/NPT fitting sizes so I can order the right parts, anyone have a diagram or a link to the auction?

Yeah, I know they were pricey, I just want to look at the auction so I can see what size hoses/fittings and everything that was used, so I can make one myself for cheaper.

I actually had one of the guy on Ebay's auction pages saved, but when I went to check it like a month ago, all the auctions were gone and I got a message saying that the seller's store had been closed. (Scammer maybe?)

These two links have ALOT of information about doing the conversion though:

The stock pipe/line polishes up nicely with a piece of scotchbrite and a little elbow grease. It should be alumimum, so I doubt you're acutually seeing rust - it's probably oxidation.

I made my own setup using high pressure brass fittings from Lowes, and high pressure rubber hoses from Autozone. Mine works real good, and is alot easier to work with than the factory one. I spend probably $20.

Yeah, the only reason I'm doing it is because I have access to a large supply of automotive/earl's fittings for relatively low prices and I want to do a little underhood bling
