Default Fuel Line, Over intake or driver side?

On the 78 camaro, the factory fuel lines are on the passenger side. Since the LS1 fuel inlet is on the driver side, have you all converted the lines to the driver side? Or crossed the line over the engine to connect to the passenger side?

You can rotate the rails 180 and put the port on the side you need

There would be no issue in swapping the fuel rail 180.. as your harness and injector would still match up. I have had mine swapped for 6 year.. or so.. you only have to route a fuel line.

Also, the only other item that will not match is Fuel Rail Cover...that is why I didn't run the ones I had until this year.. I then returned my fuel rail back to the correct way, but cut the fuel line off at just after the turn to the pulse mod..and brazed a AN Fitting and then rerouted my fuel hose.

Before with flipped rail and AN -6 Fitting on the end of the Fuel Rail



After with AN fitting close to the Pulse mod inlet.

I dont think I'm going through the hassle to flip the rail...I think the 2010+ camaro line crosses over the intake.

lol. sorry that made me laugh

I see very little wrong with running the fuel line accross the intake or even better along the firewall to the other side.

However, the concept of doing an LS swap and then considering it a hassle to flip 8 connectors and 4 bolts made me laugh a little

I hear ya...I would have to pull the injectors too...after all the work I have done, its discouraging to do that all over again.

Hmmm, It would take all of what.. two to five min's to disconnect the fuel line and 8 Injector connectors and free up any wiring harness and harness tie downs.

Then unbolt four fuel rail bolts bolts, pull the fuel rail up and clear with the injectors still connected.

Turn 180 degree and push back down and reverse the process.. done !
