Where to get new fuel lines?

Hello, me again. After a break from my 5.3 swap, finally got some money to throw at it. I see that my fuel lines have rusted and cracked under the hood. I am getting a new sending unit also. Where in the WORLD do i get the 3 fuel lines? That go from the sending unit lines, to rubber hose, back to METAL lines? Can not find them anywhere.

SS tubes or inline tubing both sell kits.

The rubber pressure and return lines that go from chassis to engine? Most guys make their own using braided lines and AN fittings. And as pointed out by Shifty, those kits are available.

They sell the individual segments just like your car has now. I think they sell a complete kit as well. Might be worth a phone call. I've done business with both and the equally helpful.

With SS tube or inline tube. At the end of the day you're going to want a 3/8"'s (-6an) feed and return line. If you are going to make north of 700hp than -8 would be better. You could also run your own lines with bulk fuel line. I'm sure you could save some coin, albeit at the expense of learning as you go.
