Thanks. I've been waiting for this day to happen. Clearance in the engine bay was absolutely amazing with the exception of fabricating the trans crossmember and modifying the steering elbow joints to clear the big 2 Inch #1 primary header tube. No biggie.

Driver's side header clearance
Passenger side header clearance. Note, these are Kook's 2" headers with 3.5" collectors
Driver's side floor pan clearance
Passenger's side floor pan clearance. Again, plenty of room for these big 3.5" collectors
Intake height in comparison to cowl

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Today I installed the steering arm u-joint after some fab work. It cleared nicely. I also installed the trans crossmember after some fab work as well. Driveshaft installed, front LCA installed. Waiting for more parts, and my pockets are getting shallow once again.LoL.

As you can see in the pics, there is no clearance issue whatsoever, with the exception of the aftermarket manual rack steering arm u-joint. A little fab work on the u-joint/extension did the trick.

I love how clean every thing is, all shinny new. Wish I took the time to make everything look as good. But I DD my shiz.
For the fuel it is def better to run one line per rail and two lines into the regulator and one return. So like mentioned above is how I would run it. -10 feed to -6 Y (or -8 depending on your fuel rail ID size) Then -6 lines from each rail to the regulator, and -8 return. No idea why you'd want a -10 feed and -10 return like mentioned above, but I guess if you want zero resistance on the return side it would be better. IMO the motor will drink plenty at idle that a -10 return would be overkill. And the -8 could save a few pennies.
