Default Miniram pix request

Anyone have close up pix of the fuel line routing on their miniram? I picked up a miniram, the fuel lines exit in the front. They are -6an female. The guy supplied two 90* -6an adapters, so now they are -6an male pointing down. The guy also supplied some strange -6an to hose barb couplers, that scares me to death

I'd lke to see what you guys ran. I think worse case scenario, I'll just get some accel -6an to saginaw adapters, adn run some short GM hoses, but it might look fugly. Thanks!

I used the stainless line kit that TPIS sells. It runs under the plenumand out the side in front to connect to the stock fuel lines. The early mini's were solid like the LT intakes and would have to use regular fuel lines. You can see mine in "my vette pics"

Ok thats the exact fuel line kit I have. except, mine has 90* blue ends on the rails, but I'm missing the saginaw adapters you have. guess I gotta call tpis now. heh.

Thanks!

I'm installing my MiniRam now as we speak. Stupid intake gaskets coated with silicone seated improperly so I guess I'm on my way towards getting some new gaskets tomorrow.

Yeah, they have all the "extra" parts to make the swap fairly easy. Overall the fitment is very good, and works pretty well. It is a little tight to the IAC, (still can access). I can still take off the VC on that side with only loosening the AC bolts.
Personally, when I do the next swap for the bigger incher Im putting together I am going to re-route the entire fuel lines. I want to eliminate the the original lines coming up the front of the motor and come up from the backside. That is probably the reason yours has 90's on the ends.
The AIR delete came from Dragon's Breath Performance ( supporting forum vendor). It comes with ribbed pulley, machined spacers, bolts etc. and is entirely poilished out, but because of what I was doing I powder coated all the parts. m7

BEFORE:
I had Braided lines going from the back of the miniram to the OEM fuel line with the -6 to Saginaw fitting.. Sorry no picture that I could find.

AFTER:

I replace the Fuel line from the Fuel filter (both lines connect here) with Custom bend lines, I used saginaw to -6an fitting on the OEM line and used -6an on my custom lines


BIGGER



BIGGER

So I then shortened my braided lines and used a -6an Union to connect them together.


The OEM line were in good shape when removed but this was much cleaner of an install
