Air injection hose routing???



Question for all, I am a little stumped on how to route my air injection from the passenger side to the drivers side...

I know the factory way is to go around the back of the block, but I am building up a motor and want to change it...

Any ideas on what I could use and how or where to route it??

Thanks for all your help...


p.s I also should say that I've got tall valve covers...

You could route it down around the front of the oil pan and then back up the other side just like the oil cooler lines.

The factory way wasn't ALWAYS around the back of the block. Stock routing on my 84 was in front of the carb.

...and just like the LT1 A.I.R. tube routing. Maybe you could grab a set of tubes from an LT1 or L99 in the boneyard - the engines are externally identical.

Vader thats a good idea....

I'll have to give it a try...

And the idea of around the carb won't work as I've got TPI and It just doesn't look good over the middle...

Thx

Well, you didn't post your motor, so sorry for assuming there might be a CHANCE you had TBI...

Don't worry about it. I was just making a point.
