Nylon fuel line safe distance from exhaust ?? What would be the recommended safe distance for nylon fuel lines from exhaust running past the differential ??
My 442 looks like I'll have to get within 3-4" of the exhaust if I go the normal route.
Thoughts ?? The other alternative is to run it up past the differential slightly off the center on the body.
Then it will be fine.

I'd probably put some firesleeve around it if it were me...I think the stock hard lines get at least that close at the front, and they are protected by a thin heat shield. You'll probably be fine as long as you make double sure there can be no possible contact with the exhaust - even if it does, the exhaust will be much cooler by the time it gets back there.

Can you use nylon line for transmission lines.. Yes you can.. Im currently using 3/8 nylon fuel line for trans lines on my 07 dodge durango 5.7 hemi...and the highest my trans temp has gotten is 280 when pulling my 20 foot IMP cuddly boat.. So I'm gonna say yes you can use nylon line
