trick place to mount adjustable FPR?

I had a mallory on the left strut plate but changed to aeromotive with return and want it alot more hidden with SS braided lines behind carb
(was a 2.8 v-6 now SBC)
anyone run SS over transmission to pass side of engine bay and mount the regulator on the pass side. If i have to will put in same location but don't like the look of all the fuel lines and regulator bunched up with the master cylinder and booster. I might be deleting HVAC but would like to get atleast a heater only box in the future

I have 25ft -6 braided alot of fittings and a -6 trickflow fuel filter
750 Holley dual feed with aeroquip braided feed to carb
edelbrock performer intake
3/8 feed and return already ran up to subframe and have flared fittings on 3/8 line to -6

If you delete the AC and dont get a heater box, you can put the regulator there. Thats where mine is. I have all my fuel line going down the passenger side of the car though.

Re: trick place to mount adjustable FPR?

Its just a Summit alternator mount. Its not the low mount. I actually want the low mount, but I cant use it. I forgot why, but I remember something stopping me. I think the Summit version is the same as the March, but just comes bare aluminum. It took me about 3 hours, but I polished it to a mirror shine.

Re: trick place to mount adjustable FPR?

Depends on where your fuel lines come into the engine bay. I put mine in place of the windshield washer fluid box.

Re: trick place to mount adjustable FPR?

yea thats pretty much same place I had it but on the botten bolt for the strut plate. I just don't like the look of fuel lines and a fuel filter covering the front of the engine. I had a plan (until started measuring) to put the reg next to the booster and running the fuel line behind the booster and mount the fuel feed towards the rear with a 90 fitting but the reg is to big

Re: trick place to mount adjustable FPR?

I've also got my mallory regulator mounted to the strut plate on the passenger side. However, with AC and all of my other options still in the car, I can't find a good place to mount it.
