Have to agree -- as I've said before ... to each his own. (but keep the two-eight-three ... next owner MAY want to reverse the swap) ... TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Or in the future maybe the trend will be to put orphan 1960's era drivetrains in modern cars. Can't wait to see the first 2016 Chevy Volt with a 283 powerglide in it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I believe Ken is using a &quot;lined&quot; hose, that is ethanol compatible. Its what I used on my 59 when I installed the LS1.

Teflon lining?

Whizz, was wondering about the fuel hose your using. I looked at that before deciding to use plastic heard so much about hoses deteriorating after years due to alcohol? in fuel
I bought this kit and tried a couple fittings on the lines and simple ehough and since like OE should be durable


Dorman 800-300 Nylon Fuel Line Repair Kit, 104 Piece under $200 on amazon dont get me wrong that stuff your looking is sexy! I was worried about longevity an old Firebird of mine was having issues with stainless braded leaking and its was pretty old and didnt want to do it twice- thoughts?

Great work as usual I've seen a few of your swaps!

Hmmm -- you may have started a trend here Steve ... good luck!
