I’m thinkin of doing a LT1 intake conversion on my TPI car, and i will need new fuel lines.
basically just running from stock hardlines in the engine bay to the back of the manifold… i need to pick up LT1 fuel rail fittings for the end of the fuel lines. stock TPI lines are too short to reach back to the manifold and all i need is to lengthen them like 2 feet to run them behind the brake booster and to the fuelrails on the LT1 intake manifold.
i dont wanna spend 125 bucks for braided steel hose that LT1intake.com sells for their conversion. One guy did custom rubber lines and it only cost him like 40 bucks. thats what i’m talkin about.
Custom fuel lines. I re-used the fittings on the old rubber TPI lines. They are the same on a V-6 as well as a V-8. Just go to a salvage yard for them. The LT1 fuel rail connectors are from PepBoys. $10 each. I took these 4 connectors to a shop and told them how long of high pressure line I need. $40 later and 15 minutes later I walked out with the exact lines I need.
thats pretty much what i need to do. what shop does this kinda work?
i mean i could make hard lines to the LT1 manifold but flexible lines are soooo much easier for my application
i hope this link works. you can see the lines from where stock TPI hardlines end to where they hook to the LT1 manifold. they wrap up behind the brake booster and over the strut tower
