Thanks for all the great info guys I ended up getting this done at the end of last season. Here are a couple shots:





I know I know....the whole engine bay needs a really good cleaning.

I plan on getting my hands on some FAST fuel rails and begin the conversion to all stainless lines.

I took a look at the stainless rad hose CCA offers, anyone have experience with that item? Would you recommend going another route? At first glance I'm feeling a bit over whelmed when it comes to replacing all the under hood lines. First off: I'm assuming it's best to size the new lines as close as possible to the original lines size. Are there any specific lines I should be worried about or that may be more difficult to deal with than others?

I know this is a stretch but to those who have done this , do you have the list a lines/fitting used? I plan on taking some measurements and creating schematic in order to keep things organized. I'll have more questions as I go but any input at this point would be awesome.
