Even if you had 0.86" bars, that's only 0.050" clear... a tad shy of 0.125" (aka, lots of room...). Before calling Milodon, can you find a local hydraulic hose outfit up near you that can MAKE the proper hose for you? Would be cheaper to just have a hose made.

Also, the new Mopar Action goes over a 6.1L install in a 68? GTX clone. E-berg opines that the button oil filter from a 86-87 Shelby GLHS Charger might fit, and still provide about as much volume as a standard filter. The B-body engine bay is way different, I know. Just a thought.
