Joel, Looks awesome as usual. I can't wait to get mine!

obZidian, It's easiest to just rerun the powersteering lines using stainless braided power steering hose. I'm in the process of doing that right now. Here is a link with all the fittings and lines required. https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/367551-stainless-braided-power-steering-lines.html The only other thing you'll need for the install is a short piece of 3/8" rubber powersteering hose and two hose clamps for the return connection to the reservoir.

I ask because i have never done anything like that, modifying hard lines, and wanted to know if i should just go ahead and get a new set of lines or just deal with what i have already. Is there a specific tool, like a small mandrel bending tool, to do the job right?

On the power sterring lines...You should be able to bend them out of the way, but I would reccomend getting custom lines of some sort.

I made a 3.5" DP for you though so you dont have to worry about the lines.
