: Pre-made fuel lines?

Is there a company that makes pre-made/shaped/bent fuel lines that would fit my Chevelle? I'm looking to put a 1/2 inch fuel line in my car, and this might be an easier (and possibly cheaper due to lack of mistakes on my part) way to do it than make my own. Thanks.

I know that you can get 3/8" hard line, factory bends, but you would play hell trying to install it with the body on the car. Easy way out...........braided steel line and a hand full of fittings. Thinking that a 1/2 line is overkill for a 350, IMHO.

Thanks, should have said though, it's for a 454.

3/8 will flow plenty for a 454, some guy named "Ed" goes deep 10's with a Comp 140 pump and stock 3/8 line. :D

your primary restriction is set by that 3/8 or in some cases 5/16 diameter tube coming out of your tank. unless you are submerging a fuel pump in the tank you really arent going to significantly overcome that primary restriction no matter what size fuel line you use beyond it (as long as you are using a vacuum type pump).
