There is a mod to run your stock lines through the fender wall and along the firewall, few people have done it on here Try a search it should come up i personally dont actually know all the details about it.

WOW that is amazing! I love how clean that is. Is that the stock radiator support? I would like to pull the stickers off mine and dress it up a bit.

Hey man..first let me say that is THE cleanest looking LT1 engine bay I have seen in a 4th gen... Nice job.

Next...Im not totally familiar with what lines are your fuel lines. Are they the group of lines coming out of your fender well and across the bay in plastic loom??? If so...yeah I can see how you'd wnat to move them.

But...in your buddies LS1...I can see his fuel lines too. They are just like they are on most stock LS1 cars, including my swap car. They look like they are just covered in some sort of sheathing or wrap. LS1s have two hard lines that run up the "frame rail", into the engine bay, and then connect to the fuel rail and evap solenoid with two plastic soft lines. Thats it... Pretty clean to begin with.

My suggestion for you, is if there is a way to run them under the wheel well alittle further, until they are down in the bay more. Then maybe see about connecting them to some nice stainless lines or something. Stainless lines always look good goin to a motor IMO.

Good luck man and definetly post more pics of your car as you figure that out! That thing looks great!!

I recognize what you did to the rad support, I did it before I switched to the LS1 style lid. It does take a bit of work.

There are adapters to take the stock lines after the regulator and convert them to 6AN, run them where ever you would like with some stainless line and a small section of teflon lined braided hose. I've been planning on running mine down the trans tunnel but have never gotten around to it.

you ca get a kit from pure choice motorsport that will allow you to run steel braided lines from behind the fuel rail. you'll have to drill some holes to then route the wires under the car. n20blkz did it to his car and has a writeup. his engine bay is pretty damn clean as well.

you need two more of those aluminum fittings for the hard lines under the car. then you need a rubber vacuum plus for the evap line.

I took another look at the site and it says the lines are only 24" do you think that would me long enough? or would I have to get 2 kits to extend the length?

I just called them, they are $99 for the kit. Although the site says 24" they said for the lt1 it is 30" and he said they can custom make the hose to what ever length you need for an additional cost

do any of you guys know if you can totally delete the evap solenoid and the other thingy on the right side of the intake manifold. i am considering doing the fuel line mod myself, but am confused with what to do with the evap stuff when i hide the fuel lines.
