hey people i think the dudes that put my engine in did not put the hoses were they should be. first if u can see my fuel line runs between my water pump and block touching my engine. could this be heating up my fuel/causeing it in evaporate?? how should i root this line? also my coolent line are almost touching my intake should i get longer hoses and let them hang off like i see other smallblocks or is this fine? any pics u guys have of fuel line rooting please post, i cant think of another safe way. thanks

 

as u can see the coolent lines are a bit cluttered.

 

as far as fuel lines, you are fine. GM routed the carb fuel lines between the water pump and timing chain cover, and there was never a problem. As far as your heater hoese, again, you are fine. Besides, if there is coolant circulating IN the motor, running the hoses along a cool aluminum intake manifold won't cause any unwanted heat exchanges. It's not like the heater hoses are going to get too hot sitting there or something.
