DrLeadFoot Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 Are those quick-disconnects on the fuel lines? Kinda, -6AN fittings attached to a stock filter/regulator. See pic. Making new fuel lines with my new 37 degree AN flare tool! Super easy but haven't mastered my bends yet. Fuel Feed: Tank -> 4-6" of 3/8" rubber hose -> barbed fitting -> -6AN Male -> -6AN Female -> 2' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male attached to input of Fuel filter/pressure regulator -> -6AN Male attached to output Fuel filter/pressure regulator -> 4' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male -> braided fuel line -> -6AN fuel rail adaptor -> LS3 Fuel Rail (Needed to use to fit MSD Atomic AirForce Intake) -> DEKA 60lbs injectors Fuel Return: Tank -> 4-6" of 3/8" rubber hose -> barbed fitting -> -6AN Male -> -6AN Female -> 2' of 5/16 Steel fuel line -> -6AN Female -> -6AN Male attached to return of Fuel filter/pressure regulator Thinking about putting a pressure gauge in the engine bay for easy trouble shooting.

B C Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I want to weld a 1/4" thick plate to my jack points so i dont feel as bad about things Looks good man! Does the LS require larger fuel lines? I can now gladly say that i have now seen one of those 135 degree bend AN fittings in use. Are the lines aluminum? I wouldnt think steel would be uncoated.

This thing has been jacked up so many times... LOL a local indy shop smashed up my rockers after they were perfectly straightened out by yours truly. Those will get bent back and painted. 2 hours ago, Snap said: I want to weld a 1/4" thick plate to my jack points so i dont feel as bad about things Looks good man!

All the dents gives the jack something to grab onto! It doesn't require larger fuel lines. I'm running 5/16 steel fuel lines for now. Got the line in a 30' roll from napa. We will see how they hold up but they should be fine. Two 120 degree AN fittings are looking great! Behling Racing in Butler hooks it up for these things. I broke one this AM while making the hose and they only charged me $10 for a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Behling is my new Go-to instead of Pegasus (fast cars, slow service) What about just spraying some clear spray paint on the lines? I am a rust-o-phobe. You dont have to humor me, I just cry at bare metal Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 steam vents?! I installed my m52 from underneath. I think i like doing it that way better than ramming the engine hoist into the ceiling. Im guessing you are using a Sikky swap kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
