Im gathering parts for my LSX swap on my 1980 Trans Am... Im wondering if anyone has used the original style plastic fuel line? I have acces to all the ends.. Also, does anyone sell it by the roll?


Just thinking out loud. I'll probably end up going braided from the tank forward.. But just wanting some different ideas....

I used it and have had great success with it so far. I did take caution not to put it in any tight bends as it will kink. I bought my roll from Napa for a minimal cost. I grabbed the 25 foot roll of 3/8"/10mm. I used the proper tools and proper technique it was a breeze. You can go to the link in my sig and search for it.

Yes. a few have used it.. it is pretty easy to work with and it is pretty cheap.. if you have the OEM fitting, Dorman has replair kit that you local parts store should be able to get for you..

I am sure if you paid for shipping. .many well ship you there leftovers ! LOL.. or hit the Junk yards.

Thanks for the heads up.. Im reading your thread, but im far from done....lol

I can get the ends from work at cost, I just havent been able to find anyone locally that sells the line.

Great job on your project...

I'm working on mine now. Dorman makes everything you need. I'm getting it at CARQUEST.

Great looking T/A!!! I just sold an 81 T/A one owner 86,000 miles. Man I miss that car. It helped fund my current ride though. Best of luck to you on the swap. If I can be of any help just shoot me a PM.

Thanks for the help guys.. Im still gathering parts. Ive already ordered the line, fuel pump, fittings, oil pan, F body intake, and I already have the complete 6.0... I'll start a new thread once I actually start the swap...
