One simple 1Y engine conversion question

After nearly 7 months of not seeing my van to continue convrersion - mainly due to second nipper - we are about to start again next week.

What water pipe do I use from block to oil filter etc onto rad hose?

Is this a JX pipe and where do I get one or do you need to cut n shut?

Thanks
