TPI to Carb swap

Howdy!
need some info on parts and pics of fuel delivery from factory fuel lines along driver side frame rail to the FPR then from FPR to fuel log. Just want to see some ideas how I can cleaning and safely run the fuel lines using the preexisting fuel lines as I’ve already removed the OEM in tank pump and wires/plumbed a Holley blue for the sending unit. I attached a photo on the 4 bolt 358ci SBC I’ve built with forged pistons, stock rods/crank, CRANE HR cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and a Holley 750 (manual choke/mechanical secondaries)

I’ve been up your ways a few times as a truck driver. Sounds like a fun car!
richmond dragway was my home track till it closed. Now it’s OBX dragway or Hertford, Nc.

10/4, will give it a eyeball. Putting all the brackets and pulleys on the motor as we speak, trying to pluck away at this thing.

A good video, but he didn’t exactly go over what he used from the factory hard lines. It’s okay, I just wanted to get a parts list before I go on summit because I lost my crank pulley 🙃
