I have s 72 big block with Steeroids. You should be able to bend that hard line enough to clear the pan. If you can't do it on the car, remove the line and get one of those tubing benders so you can make some tighter beds and make it fit in front of the rack. Otherwise, you can contact whoever supplied your unit and ask if they can fabricate a longer line for you.

Lots of places sell the tubing benders and pliers. Here's the selection from one of them:

I was thinking the same thing about re bending toward the front I had to do some re bending on the fuel lins of my 76 last year but those bends were not near as tight as these thanks for the reply
