3.2l six conversion, What fuel filter and fuel line connections to use? Options

[echocanyons]

Hello all I am putting together the pieces for the install of a 3.2 six in my car.

I have nearly everything sorted out, the thing that I am still unsure of are the fuel lines and filter.

I would like to use SS lines in the tunnel (which size?) and I would like to relocate the fuel pump to the front under the gas tank.

Can you connect the stock carrera fuel pump to general high pressure lines?

It looks like the filter comes after this, what filter should be used?

In the engine bay what is the best solution as far as connections to the engine?

I used the stock 3.2 fuel filter and strapped it to the engine lid support next to the battery. The factory fuel line from the motor connects directly to it. For the other side of the filter to connect a hose back to the front I bought a Metric Adapter kit from Pegasus Auto Racing. The part number of the kit is 1072 for $42.99. The kit is designed to convert a male metric fitting to a female 1/8-27 NPT brass hose fitting. The hole in the fitting is very small so I drilled it out. It's easy to find a 1/8" brass hose fitting at your local auto suppy to screw into the male metric fitting that goes into the filter. I also installed the stock 3.2 fuel pump in the front trunk like the GT, but most people mount it under the tank using rubber mounts to the steering cross member. Currently I am using braided steel lines for all the connections to the front trunk, but previously i just used standard high pressure rubber fuel injection hose, like you would use for the stock 4 banger inejction. Regarding the other fuel hose from the motor, i just cut the stock 3.2 rubber fuel line metal casing length wise to get it off. Underneath you will find a barbed hose fitting that you can slide a rubber fuel injection hose over.
