    I am considering rerouting the fuel line so that it enters the engine bay around the master cylinder area and goes along the firewall to the rear of the engine behind the carb. This is of course with an in tank electric pump. I was wondering if anyone here had done something similar and how you ran the line and connected to the carb/EFI?

    I'm having to do the same thing for my Sniper EFI. Seems the stock fuel line is a bit too small or plugged/kinked somewhere.

    You ran them up the tunnel to the firewall it looks like. I thought that would be the easiest, just didn't know about the heat.

    I used a silicone sleeve and then an aluminum shield from DEI. I have not had any heat related issues.
