With the show-me-your-jack thread leaving me slightly less convinced that I'm going to be able to drop the motor in my garage as it stands, I'm wondering if anyone has done the Tangerine fuel line upgrade on an SBC conversion without removing the engine?

It looks like it kinda-sorta-oughta be possible, feeding the lines through the triangle under the engine mount...

(I have one line in the tunnel right now, but it ends with a wonky fitting and I need a return line anyway...)

I've vacuumed a pound or more of rust flakes out of the tunnel recently (some the size of playing cards), so I've been looking at tunnel pictures quite a bit already (and wondering how much of it I can suck up in the shop vac before I should be worrying...)

I was just thinking that I might get to a point where I couldn't get the L-shaped parts at the end of the line past the engine mount, since to get a clean shot at the firewall I'll have to go over it. Sounds like I should just give it a shot and see.
