Hayden / Napa / Summit oil cooler kit. Anyone?

I think Im gonna try this kit out. I found out that Napa will price match Summit since I'm within about 50 miles from the main Summit store. The only things I'm going to change are the hose clamps, and I'm going to try replacing the brass barb 3/8 NPT fitting to something steel.

Just FYI, the hose barb fittings if paired with the correct ID hose are very secure. We incorporate those into a lot of assemblies at work and trying to get
the hose off after it's installed correctly is a real pain. We usually end up just
cutting a slit in the hose to be able to pull it off..
