Thanks Blackvert, been thinking 408 carbed here, the list is helpfull, I would'nt go carb setup with a 302 for a street car, but 351 makes up for the loss of torque

Can you add sell your fuel injection harness to me to your list??

May I suggest using the black XRP or russel socketless hose. It is much lighter, WAY easier to bend and put the fittings on, and about half the cost. I used this3-4 years ago and I have never had any leaks/cracks and my car sits outside 365 days a year. I ran the socketless hose all the way to the regulator then used all the stainless braided under the hood for the "look."

i've been thinking about doing that. now that i hear that you have had good results with it, i'll worry less about going that route.

Don't know about the Holley blue setup... other then that I think you are good to go. It will work fine but is something I would keep an eye on.

i have decided to go with black 3/8" fiber reinforced rubberized fuel line and nipple fittings. that stuff is much easier to work with, i can get it locally, and it costs a WHOLE LOT less than the braided hose and AN fittings.

home depot has the fittings for $1.75 a piece.

and the 3/8" stuff lets me use any of 100 or so fuel filters, whereas summit has about 5 filters for the -8AN stuff, starting at about $25 each

and did i mention that it doesn't have that red and blue anodized fittings? i have a black and silver theme going under the hood ... red and blue anodized parts have no place there.
