Anybody that has replaced the fuel lines on their L98 with braided hose from the filter to rail want to post some pics. I'm interested in your routing and clamping. I'm staying with the front input fuel rails, so that's really what I'd like to see.

Thanks all.

I rerouted mine all the way through. Stock they were close to the exaust manifolds. I moved them away from that area and now they route around the passenger side closer to the wheel well. I don't know if thats what you meant or not. It was kinda hard since I am not a skilled mechanic. It took me about 8 hours total in 2 days with lots of breaks. LOL. I also added a plastic cover over them to keep any debris or something from puncturing the line.

Ray,
This is rear located but some of the things are the same.
What I did was use metric adapters at both lines to accommodate the -AN fittings. I made all my own hard lines from the intake and used Earl's line clamps. If you are considering doing this I would also recommend using the Teflon core braided stainless hose. Here, the pump gas has many additives which can and will compromise the typical stainless braided hose which is a "non-barrier" type hose (I had this happen)
When I still had AC, I had a 45* on one end (filter) and a straight on the other, so that the hose would have additional room to the header/heat shield. It was "looped" under the ac box then up to the intake. On yours I would continue to run the lines along the top of the rail (under the AC), following the rail, under the upper A arm and then across to the front of the intake. The barided hoses will fit under that "plate" located on the rail just under the A arm. hope this helps

Thanks for the pics. That really looks fantastic. If I can manage to make mine look 1/10 that good, I'll be very happy.
