Message I agree with collegeboy. You really need to know exactly how you intend to route your fuel line plumbing and exactly where the termination points are for the fuel rails and regulator.

Regardless, you need to add male unions to your list. You will almost certainly need 45s and 90s swivel ends somewhere. Usually these will get you pointed towards the firewall if that is your intended route. Not sure what you are doing with the 180s? Where is your regulator going to be mounted? If your fuel filter is already 8an, why do you need 3/8 npts? If you are reducing down to 6an, just get 8an to 6an male unions for each end of the filter? My Jegs filter has male an ends already so forgive me if I'm not picturing correctly what your aeromotive filter looks like. I assuming it is an 8an female end on each end.

I'm assuming you are connecting to your stock hard lines near the turbo since the motor is out? I would suggest a 5/16 braided hose with 5/16 coupling with 6AN female hose connection. They are available. Look up Orme Brothers online if you can't find them. They have them. You can clamp the 5/16 hose with a hose clamp at the stock hard line barb for your feed and return lines and everything else is 6AN fittings from there to and from your rails. I'm not sure how/where your 5/16 npt will thread into/on your stock plumbing?

I take it you are not running duel fuel pumps, or maybe a parrallel rail feed and return for your top feed injectors? You have enough hose to run the secondary fuel line is why I ask. If you are, you need way more fittings...... 60 feet is allot of hose. Mine took about 20 feet of 6an running a second fuel line from the secondary in tank pump. I also have about 3 feet of 8an from duel feed 6an x 6an x 8an y block to filter, to rails, and then 6an from rails to regulator and return.

Plan on a few extra fittings. Doing this for the first time, you will certainly make a few changes and re-routes from the original plan as you see it all come together.
