Message Pretty basic job to do so. Or even better, weld on 37* flare fittings and shut the stock supply/returns. Forgo the damper, add an adjustable FPR, as long as a nice washable 6AN fuel filter. Go bigger diameter from fuel pump if you want to add future potential for E85 if it's available to you.
Personally I used 6AN Aeroquip startlite hose. I love the nylon braided stuff, it's flexy and does NOT SCRATCH unlike SS!

Pictured below, I went from the 5/16" (6mm?) OEM hardlines along the frame rail, located under the Master Cylinder, cut the OEM bulge off, inserted a 5AN Tube nut and sleeve, and used my summitt (POS) 37* flaring tool. Adapting with steel 5AN x 6AN reducing unions to my AN hose



Used the same concept with my turbo coolant supply/return lines, Banjo fittings with 6AN Male flare ends, adapting to flared aluminum hardlines... Bulletproof baby!
