I waited to route my fuel lines (EFI - feed and return) until I had a test fit for my FE motor. Glad that I did because it really helped me understand exactly where everything was going to wind up, e.g. headers, etc. I do not want to route fuel lines through the trans tunnel (heat, close to rotating stuff, not easy to inspect or replace, etc.). Will use the tunnel for the battery cables and rear harness.
Best place for my fuel pressure regulator is on the outside of the inner angled aluminum panel of the passenger side foot box (the angled panel that would be to the left of the passengers ankles). This keeps it well aft of the headers and keeps the line routing neat and with only a short length of braided line from and to the fuel rails. With the FPR located there, I would like to bring the fuel lines forward along the inboard side of the passenger side 4" main round tube. With the fuel lines on the inner side (Not INSIDE the 4" tube - along the 4" tube but on the inner side = closest to the midline of the car), I can turn them up and very easily get to the FPR for the return line and make the transition from hard line to braided line for the feed side of the system.
In terms of leaving the fuel tank and getting to the planned path along the 4" tube, I think I have a good route along the outside of the square tube above the rear wheel. I'm using Cunifer for the hard lines based on excellent results using it for the brake lines.
Anyone see any issues with my plan? Your thoughts are much appreciated, as always.
Best,
Ron
