what do you all recommend for my waterline bypass pipes . my friend says he see's copper a lot but i was thinking aluminum or stainless steel this is to bypass the water from the back the engine to the radiator

I don't recommend running piping from the rear of the head to the front but suggest going with a rear water housing from SQ Engineering.
Here's the thread.. It's very affordable and a great solution.
BUT if you have to run it
jenko style (it obviously still works) then you can run hoses and 1" O.D.(?) aluminum tubing. Rads are aluminum too remember. If you're routing over the exhaust make sure to use a heat shield.

"jenko" is another way of saying ghetto rigged or jacked up.
