fuel line setup

its coming down to getting things arranged in the eng bay for my motor swap and my ques is, those of you that are running braided fuel lines or non stock lines how did you set up your lines?

did you cut them back from where they were on the dr side fuel rail and run them up the back or just use the 14-16mm to -6an fitting that go on the stock fuel line ends and run them up to the front like the stockish TPI routing?

my other option is to cut them back just under the fire wall and use compression fittings to -6an run the lines up the back. i have plenty of braded fuel line to do ither, its just which route to go.

please post pics if possible.

Re: fuel line setup

Mine was for LS swap, I tried to flair some metal lines and to hard line all the way up, but it didn't turn out so well. I ended up doing braided AN everywhere and switched to an AN filter to eliminate the number of connections. From here the feed line was attached and I ran the hose through the frame rail and up on right under the brake prop valve.

Looks like I'm going to keep it simple and run everything from the stock pos using the adaptor fittings.
