Fuel line install question...
Before I purchase a pre-bend fuel line and vent line and ruin them attempting to put them on, I thought I'd ask this question.
I've searched quite a bit but found no situations similar to mine to gauge an answer.
Lifting the entire body is not an option for me. With my Engine hoist I can lift the P.S of the car up about 6 maybe 7 inches. My question is does anyone know if that's enough clearance to install these pre-bent lines?
The car is a 4-speed so the trans cross member can not be removed.
The frame and body is up on Jack Stands right now.
The rear axle and fuel tank are off the car right now as well as the trailing arms.
Do I have any hope of replacing with pre-bent S.S lines in this situation?
Thank You in advance for your answers.

So that thread makes it appear that prebent SS lines can't be done without removing the body or cutting the lines.
Is that really the case if everything in the rear end is out? I'm in the process of pulling everything and considering replacing the fuel line because I'm already that far along, so I'm very interested in this.
jgrigg can raise the passenger side up, how high would he have to get it to make this all happen?

Still wondering..
So to re-word my question.. Do I have a chance of replacing the fuel lines with pre-bent SS lines WITHOUT having to cut and splice them together?
I'm hoping to try get going on installation of as much as possible this weekend.

Looks like nobody's tried it so I'll have to be the first one.
