Title: WTB Metal Fuel Lines
Post by: 88 Blackbird 5.0 on January 28, 2012, 10:59:54 AM
I'm looking for a good (at least fairly clean) pair of the metal fuel lines that run from the front of the passenger side subframe, up to and along the side of the K-member.  I don't need any of the flexible nylon lines, or the metal lines that connect to the fuel rail.  Just the pressure and return lines down by the K-member.

Let me know what you've got.  Thanks!

They are very hard to find... took almost a year to find mine. Decided I was going to make my own too, then I found some last minute

You have a Turbo Coupe right? IIRC someone on here was able to use the line that went from the body fuel lines and up around the manifold from a 5.0 F-150. I think it may have been close to a direct fit.

Yep.  I sure do.  I went ahead and fabbed the lines out of galvanized brake lines.  It turned out really well.  I've had a fair amount of practice bending rigid lines though, so it really wasn't a big deal.  Thanks anyway for the tip about F-150's.  :)

It's crazy that you have to buy lines that run from the tank to the fuel rail.  No one sells sections of the lines.  Oh well.  We are talking about 27 year old cars after all.
