5.3 foxbody fuel filter placement
I put a 5.3 into my fox using truck intake manifold and fuel rails and ran the lines, then ended up switching to car intake manifold and fuel rails. I want to use my existing fuel lines if I can to save some money but in doing so the only place I can really place the corvette fuel filter is the fire wall. Is this ok or no?
I know it can be bad if there's a fire or something but wanted second opinions

Probably not a good idea. I have a LSX fox too. I mounted my Corvette filter right where the factory filter went, above the rear axle mounted to the front side of the trunk. Then from there just use the one feed line to send fuel to the rail. Thats if you have a returnless fuel rail.

The 2 factory fuel lines run all the way to the passenger side shock tower where I used russel fittings.
I used these fittings and lines for the truck rails but now that I have a car manifold I'm trying to use what I already bought :-/ where else in the engine bay would be a proper place to mount this fuel filter? I need a good place in the engine bay, the firewall would be perfect but if it's a bad idea them idk....
