Fuel lines
 
Any fuel line kits or suggestions on lines and fittings for a LS2 in a '69 Camaro?
Help I'm getting close to dropping my engine in.:D

I'm doing AN6 hard lines but I seriously considered a nylon line. For like 150$ for tools and materials, you can have a kit to do it front to back the same as factory.

I'm with realcoray...the hard line looks so much nicer. Nylon ain't bad either though.

I used tube tech for my 69. It is all stainless & comes with everything. Was simple to install.

I am doing a 68 firebird now. Its more of a budget build. I decided to try to modify the stock hard line. I bought a new stock line & C5 vette filter. Bought the fittings for the quick connectors from summit & had a local shop make me some steel briaded lines to go from the engine to hardline & from filter to tank. I have about half the money in this than the tubetech setup. It took 3 times as long & a lot of measuring & running around. I think if I did it all again I'd just buy the tubetech setup.

If your horsepower numbers will be relatively conservative, a single 3/8" factory style fuel line will suffice. You can run a single line, with -6AN adapters and fittings, thru a Corvette bypass filter/regulator at the rear. This way, you can "dead-head" the system.

If you are running forced induction, or 500hp+ you'll likely require a dual line system with a full return. Dual factory lines, with -6AN fittings can work fine, higher horsepower systems will need to increase fuel line size to flow adequate volume. A good quality bypass regular will be required.

Limiting cloth & braided lines by using metal hardline front to rear will minimize fuel vapors in your garage :cool:
