Default 4 port inlet FPR recommendations

I'm doing a fuel upgrade and plumbing a 4303 with -10 to the engine with a billet -10 adapter to four -6 outlets to the four -6 rails on my engine. I'm looking for a regulator with four -6 inlets with a -8 retur

I found a magnafuel with four -8 inlets and single -8 return, but not seeing much else out there. Anywhere I can look and anyone know of something? Needs to be boost referenced

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using the magnafuel regulator you found.

You can get -8 O-ring fittings that will have a -6 male end on them.
You can also get -6 female fittings that fit a -8 AN hose.

Either way, you can make a -6 AN setup work with that regulator.

I got the pump and magnafuel 4 inlet regulator. Placing the regulator, just how important is the length of each line? I could have up to 10 or so inches difference in length for one side to the other

I don't think I'm going to worry about. The regulator will most likely end up on the firewall and since the regulator body itself makes it one large system, have small variations from the front of the manifold to the back won't matter at all

You could just as easily pull all the rail outlets together via tee's, Y's or a manifold and route a single line back to the reg.

Funny you mentioned that. I bought some -6 to -8 Y's and am running two single lines back to the regulator The Y is parallel style and cleaned things up quite a bit. I'll post some pics when I get farther along

4 lines in, and 4 lines out is just a hell of a lot of lines to find room for....and messy.

Enough parts showed up to get this far. The -8 hose will be here tomorrow and I'll work on getting the regulator mounted

Also been reworking the radiator setup this weekend too

Got the engine bay lay out all done. Need to plumb the feed and return after building a tank tomorrow, or at least getting it layed out and cut up. I have that tank and the radiator I'd like to get farther along

Nice idea with the filter.
