Stock V8 lower hose will not work. It is designed for cars with a remote oil
filter & will not clear the D & D adapter & Buick V6 filter. An all rubber hose,
in Larry's situation, runs the risk of wearing through where it rubs against the
frame rail, outside the filter. Best solution is 2 pieces of hose with a piece
of stainless tube in the frame area. I have used this set up on 2 cars for over
10 years with no problems.
