Re: question with fuel lines
There are fittings that will allow you to attached braided S/S hoses to the hard lines. Then you could route them any way you want. My entire system is braided S/S lines, routed up from behind the engine. You might want to try a "search"... I know people have posted the manufacturer and part numbers for the fittings.
Re: question with fuel lines
i tried the search and couldnt find it under custom , fuel lines or custom fuel lines....not sure what else to search under
any other help would be appriciated fellas

Re: question with fuel lines
my suggestion is you leave them as they are, recently i burnt a fuel line and im getting the braided type but im routing it the same way, i think the gm techs routed it that way for a reason, and if it deals with saftey i would rather not comprimise it.
Re: question with fuel lines
this isnt a street car and im not really worried about whe gm thinks is better/safer
it is a drag car...i just want to clean up the engine bay for looks and ease of getting to everything else

Re: question with fuel lines
Check the 2nd post in this thread for info and photos on compression fittings that attach AN lines to the stock hard lines at the rails.

If you are looking at something more permanent, there are people who have had -6AN and -8AN fittings welded to the back of the fuel rails to allow complete -AN systems. Just depends what you want to do, and how much you want to spend.
I wouldn't worry about the GM tech's logic.... I remember a website back a few years where a guy who had a fire in his 4th Gen LT1 engine bay was trying to put together a class action suit on the poor routing of the fuel lines.... seems the plastic ring holding the bundle to the throttle quadrent cover broke, dropped the bundle on the hot exhaust parts, the lines melted and his car went up in flames.
I run a -6AN supply line and a -6AN return line, both routed from the back of the engine down under the car. It's been running fine for 4 years, looks a lot better protected than the factory routing, and supports 800HP including dry nitrous.
