Default Big Block Gas Lines

Can anyone share some knowledge on whether or not the tank to engine gas lines are different between the small block and big blocks in either 1969 or 1970? (I have a December '69 production car and am converting from a 350/350 to an L-88).

Thanks

I think the main fuel line is identical, and if both (or neither) engines used a return line, it would also be the same.

also think lines are the same diameter but thought the angle towards the engine was a little different on the big blocks but not sure ???

I assume you already know that the L88 did not use a return line.

On a side note. If you are going to make some HP with the BB then remove the strainer sock at the pick up and just use a good inline fuel filter. You can still use the stock lines.
