To have the engine that you built from the bare block up fire up the first night you try to get it going. After so long waiting for this and that we finally got it all together and got it started....man it sounds good!! We got all the suspension on it yesterday so once I get some mine little things done I'll have her on the road. Man I can't wait to burn some cheap rubber

I do need to know how an original v8 65 mustang's fuel line is ran. Since mine was a straight six originally the hard line stops at the back of the engine and I need to move it forward. It looks like it should be going through the frame rail but i don't see how it can. Any pics or ideas?

V8 line on my car came up the driverside fenderwell, just below the wiper fluid bag and jumped across to the fuel pump. Damn its a good feeling when it all works on the first try!

On a V8 the fuel line runs up the driver's side of the tranny tunnel and makes a 90 degree bend at the back of the front framerail to go behind it and then another 90 degree bend to go down along the side of the framerail on the outside. It followd the framerail up and between the control arms and then makes a 90 degree bend and enters the engine compartment through a hole on the lower rear part of the front driver's fender apron where it terminates about 1-2 inches into the engine bay where a rubber hose is connected to it that runs to the mechanical fuel pump on the engine.

thanks guys I kind of figured it followed the frame someway and came out that hole that ron said.

Its just a load off your back when you take on a project like this and then you hear that ford purr...well more like a scratchy rumble....but we'll get her purring
