Installing the Tangerine SS fuel lines without removing an SBC, ... is it possible? Options

[mikesmith]

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...)

in my experience, when you start to feed the lines in they lines are positioned slightly down and angled to the right towards the pass side rear tire iirc. biggest hassle will be accessing the little metal holding tabs for the lines in the tunnel (start with this. console? plan on pulling it) and feeding the lines thru the big rubber block at the front (later) or the 2 rubber grommets (earlier. prob plan on replacing them too. rotary914 stocks them). i think removing the tank makes the process much easier. you're going want to replace the soft fuel lines anyway. an extra set of eyes and hands certainly doesn't hurt the procedure.

forgot…slipping the black plastic metal tab covers, that are all over our cars, on the tunnel tabs will help insure there are no annoying rattles when you're finished.
