ss braided over rubber

I wanted to use stainless steel braided hoses for my radiator and fuel / air rather than rubber hoses.. can i use these for all of these? i hate the rubber look =P

Yeah, but that stuff isn't cheap. It's definately the way to go if you've got money.

As far as the fuel lines go, you're going to have to find some of those quick connectors to add to the fuel lines so they will work with the LT1's fuel rails. Unless you've modified the rails.

Oh, for the radiator hoses, I would use one of those kits to cover the stock hose with the simulated stainless steel mesh. It's really hard to get hose clamps to seal a steel braided line because they are much siffer than a standard rubber line.

You will probably have a hard time making braided hose make the sharp turn needed for the radiator hoses.
