That's pretty trick also. How much room did you have after you finished?

I ran into this when I tried to install my FAST intake. I'm interested to see how yours turns out. Keep up the good work

How are you routing the fuel flow? Both feeds from the rear and then dual returns up front?

That's correct. I work from back to front because my front fittings are going to be a bit more restrictive than the rears and I'd rather use those after the injectors. The fronts 90 out of the rails and pass back beneath the intake manifold and then run to both sides of the regulator. Then into the return line

Thanks! Can't wait until my new valve covers and P-Rod length checkers are here. This motor looks like it's going to require about an 8.3" p-rod

The front fitting I used is the fragola fitting that has the -8an o ring fitting already on it.
