Leon,
Did you tap your block for full flow oil passage?
Have you tried a radiused tubing bender? The local hardware store sells these spring tubes that are made for bending lines without kinking them.
I used one for the copper water lines n my manifold.
For my oil lines I built a steel plate bracket that goes on the forward side mount engine bosses(three holes just behind the generator) I made a plywood template to get the fit just right, then I used hydraulic fittings, I mocked it up using rubber hose and the actual hydraulic fittings I ultimately used, got the length and angles just right marked the orientation on the hoses and went down to my local hydraulic guy and he made up the lines with proper high temp lines.
I've been running it for about 2 1/2 years and it is perfect.
If you don't want to go that route you might try copper lines as they are a bit more malleable than steel.
