Love the build!!!
Yes they go through the frame via a piece of 3" tubing welded in place. The hoses then attach on either side.

Thanks!

It's been a busy week! I installed the headers and they fit like a glove! So happy how they turned out. Next on the list was to make the connections from the headers to the exhaust. That's all done and the only thing left is to have thermal barrier coating applied at some point.

I've also been chipping away at plumbing and wiring. I'm waiting for some fittings to finish the power steering lines and I think plumbing is done. Wiring is at the beginning stage. Battery cables are in place and most of the EFI harness is in. Slow progress, but at least it's progress.

What the consensus on running BATT cable & fuel lines when relocating a battery?

I always thought they're ok on the same side as long as each was positively secured but I've read where others say they should be ran on opposing sides of the frame. I can see where 'opposing sides' would ultimately be safer (given the distance between) but not sure of the likelihood they would only cross somewhere else.

I don't know what other people do, but I route everything as safely and securely as possible. My fuel lines are inside (most of the way) steel tubing and the battery cable (only hot when cranking the engine) has grommets everywhere it passes through steel. Once I'm done under the car, the belly pans will be installed adding another layer of protection.

I like the size of these pictures. Much better than instagram on a phone.
