go buy some gates greenstripe that fits the oil return fitting. Then use some band clamps.

Make sure it is fuel line and not coolant line. If you use anything but fuel line or multi-fuel line, it will crack and leak over time.

That should tide you over.

depending on clearances you may want to look in to stainless braided hose, If your doing it the more how shall i say it.....um........ better way, i would use AN fittings As i recall its 1/2" pipe to an-8 adapter, an-8 swivel straight hose end, about 1' of an-8 braided line( will be more then long enougha nd will need to be trimed), another an-8 swivel straight hose end ( possibley a 45 degree depending on oil pan drain location) . Then depending on how you are tapping in to your oil pan , i used a 45 degree steel an-8 fittings and welded it to the pan. see pics links below, sorry bu i didnt get any pics with the line installed.
