Fuel Lines: The stock fuel lines will not work with the new motor, you will need

2 EAR-165056ERL -6 - 5/16 AN to tubing connectors Male end
2 EAR-165006ERL -6 - 3/8 AN to tubing connectors Male end

2 RUS-658490 1 ft sections of pre assembled 5/16 Steel braided hose with female ends

Simply attach one 5/16 to -6 tubing connector to the fuel rail on the intake manifold
Then attach the 3/8 to -6 tubing connector to the return line on the fuel rail on the manifold the above PN#’s are from Summit Racing

Cut the fuel “tubing” about 6 inches below the firewall and follow the same steps as above. Now attach the hoses to the fittings which are now on the tubing. MAKE SURE the fittings are on snug! Now when the time comes to hook up the lines simply screw on the lines to the manifold.
Note: be sure to label the lines, Fuel and return. Fuel being the larger line and the return the smaller in diameter.
^^^^^^^^^

is this the best way to do it......i def dooo not want ne trouble with leaks...it sounds scary with compression fitting on the stock lines by the fire wall....
