Default Feeding fuel rails.

I've got Lonnie's Magnacharger fuel rails and having issues with clearance
between the alternator and driver's fuel rail. Do you guys feed the front of the passenger rail, crossover in the back, and then return out of the front of driver's?

I'm trying to feed the passenger's rear rail -8, crossover in the front to driver's, and out the rear of driver's with -6 return.

I think any way you can route the lines will be fine. Going with aftermarket rails is good and you should never have a fueling issue any way you plumb them. Some say you need to use a y-block and feed from the fronts and return out the back. Or y-block at the back and return out the front. Crossover is cool too... sure looks neater. Goodluck!

It would look cleaner and use less fuel ine with the crossover up front but the engine won't care if the crossover is in the back.

Lonnie's and Nasty 8 from LS1tech both claim the -8AN in/crossover/-6AN out setup is good for over 1000rwhp and it's a lot simpler to plumb. Less fittings means less chance of leaks.

Lonnie just found me a low profile fitting to solve clearance issues with alternator. I'm hoping I can get this project wrapped up soon.

Should I take the lines down the back of engine to tank or up the left fender well and over top of the brake booster?

Run them down the engine to keep from touching the body. It sounds like an exhaust pipe touching the body.

Down along the trans? I wish the body was off.

Yeah. I tied mine to my existing (old) lines.
