Stainless Fuel Line

Stainless Fuel Line
Anyway to get rid of all the plastic tubing for the Fuel lines ( the set of 3 lines that come up) I assume all three go to the tank. I plan on upgrading the fuel pump in the tank soon since it was a converted car im not sure if the V6 pump is the same as the V8 and i need to keep my newly built engine fed So with that said how do i get rid of all the "quick" disconnects and use a real screw in fuel filter and real fuel fittings " preferably the preety red and blue ones to attach to the fuel rails. Do i still need to use all three lines? Help
Thanks.!
So
What pump to put in the Fuel tank - What should i use for lines under the car to the rails ? Stainless? anything else made? Then stainless lines in the engine bay to the rails - stainless on all hoses? or what?
Thanks.!

Pump? Put a Racetronix kit in there and be done w/ it. Good luck.

Re: Stainless Fuel Line
Earls makes compression fittings that you can attach to the hard lines under the car and at the fuel rails, allowing you to run braided S/S lines between those points. I wouldn't waste a lot of money using an S/S line for the "3rd line" since its simply the vent from the charcoal canister to the EVAP purge solenoid.

I kinked my fuel line 2 years ago installing a fuel filter for the first time i was not careful enough. That is my paranoia for doing this. This car is a conversion and im not sure if the stock V6 fuel pump and Stovk V8 fuel pump are the same - im rebuilding my engine and it would a horrible shame to be losing power due to a fuel delivery system.
