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 did mine with the engine out, and 2 people, one feeding, one pulling/pushing, following the line thru the tunnel. I was amazed how well it went. Maybe I just got lucky.
Do you have leaks NOW, and need to do the lines tomorrow, or could you wait and do then when the engine/trans is out for other service? |
