I was determined To have hoses made and did get it done, but it cost almost as much as factory, and still is not quite right, it's very hard to route the hoses so they don't rub on something.
The fittings are real oddball and have to be ordered, they have a weird taper on the flair, and the thread is not JIC or Metric.

UH OH......... THANK YOU. The engine was hot, too hot so I couldn't do anything today. Man they hold their heat for a long time.
THANKS for the heads up. The uh oh is because this thing is FAR from stock. I do not know if the oil cooler lines are longer or shorter than normal. It is a different oil cooler too (newer one... 1993 if I remember right) so I'm not sure if those fittings are match to the 617 either. hmmm.... I can find out though there is a junk one near here. Think I'll go cut out the fittings so I have them as spares. The car was in a train wreck LITERALY so I miiiiiight be able to get too the cooler lines on the filter housing . Will see.
As to motormount.... those are different on mine too. Will have to look and see if this is still an issue.
