Here is mine:

There's a few engine pic threads running around C4 forums. And, minirams are in 'em.

For example, try here:

My old 89

I have installed a mini ram in the past and the fuel lines have changed since.

This is mine and you see the new lines I think run up the middle of the intake. You would think with the heat from the manifold you might get some vapor lock action.

You can do like I did. Run a 6 AN tee off the front of the pass side fuel rail (or a Y splitter further upstream) and run it over to the front of the driver's side rail. (So fuel has primary feed to both rails.) Fuel regulator on the rear has dual fuel feeds (one from each rail, can use a small aeromotive unit to mount onto the rail directly on one side) and single return under the plenum, as you have demonstrated in the photo above.

I did it not to keep the fuel cool as much as make sure that both rails had a primary feed before the regulator/return but it also accomplishes your goal of keeping the lines off the intake base which does get pretty warm.

Edit: However I now see the front of the rails have been welded up, maybe you can get TPiS to swap those out.

Vapor lock doesn't exist at 43 psi.

there are other options..since it's apart make your own with 3/8 hard line to teflon core braided -6. My solution is similar to an LTx. and the valve covers can be removed w/out disconnecting the fuel lines.

here's mine:

I ran my fuel lines up from the back:

The mess of stock lines going to the front had to go. I also relocated the fuel filter so changing that is an easier job.





I used a heat gun to soften and flatten the bumps in the air filter housing so the angle of the intake tube was better.

I'll throw a couple in.

My application and usage is different perhaps than yours, so we have different concerns. No issues there.

What do you mean by this?

They should hook up in the back of the rails.

I used the Fbody rails and lines on mine and it still worked fine.

Not pretty, I drive it every day. Braided teflon core lines. Had a lot of help from Mseven.

i like your valve covers. Where did you get those from?

Some good lookin engines here, but this one just blows me away.
