Default Fuel line suggestions

I'm putting an LS1 in a 62 vette. Whats the best thing for a fuel line? I'll be using a vacum adjusted fuel pressure regulator (aeromotive) so the return would be from this rather than fuel rail. Is stock line an option? Braided steel? thanks

I used the speed inc billet fuel rails with an aeromotive regulator, worked great!! Check them out.

Depends on how much power you want to make on the tube sizing.

I went like this:

8AN braided hose from tank sump to 8AN filter
into Aeromotive pump (8AN inlet, 6AN outlet)
into 6AN filter
6AN braided hose from filter to fuel rail
out opposite fuel rail into 6AN braided hose
into 6AN Aeromotive regulator
6AN braided hose from regulator back to fuel tank
