The feed line directly after is goes from hard steel line to the Nylon tube is kinked. I do not want to replace it with more of the heat to fit Nylon tube. I like a nice looking engine bay as well, new lines and rails would be a nice touch even though it's not needed for my power level...

I believe the tube is 5/16 on the feed and 3/8 on the return. The return line is easy. -6 line and a good quality hose clamp. But 5/16..... That's -5. Which is extremely rare and not really ideal.

Anyone here just run -6 line on both to the stock hard lines?

You gotta fix that thread title though.....What the hell is a Fuek?

Lol.... Just noticed that. And I pre-read everything too!

I'm only really worried about fitting a -6 hose to the 5/16 stock fuel line. Last thing I want is a fuel leak near the header...

I just used 5/16 hi pressure fuel hose. With a quality clamp, no issues.

Yes that would work. But I was planning to put some nice AN fittings and hose to clean up the engine bay. So I figured I would do it from the stock hard lines all the way to the rails.

Hmm you could use one of those appearance kits if nothing else will fit.
