I keep hearing about people having braided stainless line custom built for their cars particularly in intake or engine swaps where and how can I get a set of these made? scooted45@yahoo.com

Measure where you want to run the line
You buy amount of line you need + extra
Buy the necessary ends
Cut the lines to length
Put the ends on
Attach everything
Check for leaks
go

Hey, Traxion --- Nice looking engine! Real clean engine bay, too. One question for you: It looks like you're running two breathers (one on each side) and no PCV valve, is that right? Please excuse my ignorance, but is that really accomplishing anything? I thought the whole idea was to run a PCV on one side and then a breather on the other side to more or less "vent" the draw from the PCV. Am I missing something? Just curious, even an old Phat Phart like myself can always stand to learn something new....

Have a Great Day!!!


--- Vern

what kind of aftermarket an fittings use oem style male externally threaded fittings with o-rings? I dare say that the engines shown in your pictures while fine examples of craftsmanship are using other than stock components in the area of fuel delivery. Traxton, that engine bay is what dreams are made of. Is that ac delete a gm part? I also like the delete plate on the fire wall very clean looking. Scooted45@yahoo.com
