DOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOODD. That's huge.
Have you thunk that the poooooooor ol' oil pump will have to work hard to push oil thru the lines amd the big cooler, and that that will cost you oil pressure (pumping losses) to do so?????
Suggest this: Sell it on Ebay for $1,000,000. Then get something more correctly sized like say Volvo oil cooler or maybe max Jag 6 oil cooler.

Normally we want to make things easier for the pump so we go to LARGER lines.
Think of when you've drunk A LOT of BEER.
Eventually you're done renting it and ya gotta get rid of it, so you whip it out and you get ready to write CARL in the snow.
How much easier is it on your system if you just let loose like a firehose and think of the strain if you try squeeezing it hard.
Oil system is the same.
-10 is mo better.

Look you can get STEEL Push on that function the same as those you linked to and they cost 1/3. Check "Weatherhead"'s catalog, or PARKER.
Make sure the hose you get is rated for continuous 300F
