I did a search under your posts looking for some information on how you cleaned up your engine bay with the wiring and what not and didn't find much on the subject.... Also, I was wondering if you ever figured out how to change over from the stock "hard lines" to steel braided lines going to your fuel rails. I know you had asked for a parts list before, but nothing else was ever posted on the subject. Part numbers would be great if you figured out how to do this. Thanks!

Sorry, just caught this post!
I never did find a solution to the fuel lines, the way that I wanted to do them. Which for anyone wondering, I wanted to put braided line from the hard lines coming into the engine bay (pass. side) to aftermarket fuel rails. With correct fittings so i don't have to botch it. At this point I am not interested in replacing the lines from the rails all the way to the tank.
Fast forward to now, I still have not found a solution for sure, but I will tell you this, "I am not bring the car out this spring until I figure out a way to do it." I will keep you posted on what I find. The problem is finding an adapter to adapt to the hard lines coming into the engine bay. Well last week I though I found the solution as I found the adaptors listed below. They seem like the right style of connector (special ford clip together type lines) exept that they are listed as for LT1 or LT4 chevy. Maybe JT can help on a little research on this but I want to look into them and see if they will work.
SECOND ONE FROM THE BOTTOM. Anyone that can help, please chime in, as they seem like the same line as ford uses but they are listed for chevy.

No, you should have rubber lines from the fuel rails all the way to your hard lines which come in at the corner of the engine bay on the pass. side. Take a second look and let me know.

....i will look tomorrow i saw the rubber lines going under the tb and down the pass side but didn't trace them out i want a replacement for them.... i found russell had a kit for my 93 and that is done now i want something for my 94...but finding nothing
I do not have my car down here in Georgia as I'm moving... What about the bottom fittings on that page. Those look like they might work if memory serves me right. I thought that there are almost like a male and a female connection right? It's like that on my Ranger (it's not a Mustang, but it's a Ford!). I know this is a little farther than you wanted to take it, but what about taking it from the fuel filter up to the engine. Might be able to find something easier that way, but we still have the darn return to deal with!!! I am curious as to how we could make this work!!! I really do not want to change my setup right now and am like 69Clark wanting to just change the hard lines in the engine bay. I'm going to keep looking....
What size tubing is that running from our pressure side and then the return size? I know they say -8 AN for the pressure side and -6 An for the return side.... But what from the factory...3/8? I don't think it is that big, but if they only made this in the size we needed.... It's the top one, like a change over from hard line to the braided!!!
