I have my motor in and the FFR supplied lines run to the passager side location. How do I connect the hard 5.0 line to my bend FFR line? I hope not the two ~ 8" supplied rubber hoses in the FFR kit with the Mickey Mouse house clamps! Need a little help here.. Thanks.

Yep. Or.....

Get the fuel rail to AN fittings (from Pure Choice, Holcomb Motorsports, or Godman Hi-Performance). Add a 37 degree single flare to the end of the hard FFR fuel line. Get Pure Choice, Earl's, or a local speed shop to make you up a set of braided fuel lines to connect them both.

Will cost about $125 but they won't leak or blow off, and look cool - fuel lines are a very visible part of the engine compartment.

Has anybody ever actually had a problem with FFR hose and clamp setup? I only have 8000 miles on my Mickey Mouse hose clamps and was wondering.

I know the above sounds sarcastic (Sarcastic? Me?)it may because I have never heard of a problem with the stock set-up. I am really wondering if there ever has been.

cut the fitting from your old lines bend to fit, double flare and your done .

Use 2 compresion tubing fitings one 5/15 and one 3/8. This is how I did mine the expence is cheap like 7 to 8 bucks.

I have quite a few pictures of the stock hose installation here. http://cobra.spintime.org/eng_install.html
I haven't had any problems but I believe a few guys have had the hoses split. I think Russ Thompson was one that had problems with the stock hoses. Maybe he can comment.

I just posted some pics of my engine and was asked about the braided fuel lines - check out the following thread:
