Hot Fuel Lines

Wait a second. My post said "thru the sub frame or sub frame connectors, to get the FUEL LINE "OUTSIDE" AWAY FROM THE HEADERS". Not all the way up thru the frame. Your saying "that would be lots of work and "more bends in the line which would cause "more pressure in the lines".
A clean bend does NOT cause "more pressure"
Now you think building some guards and removing the headers would be less work, NO WAY !

What 4 people have said move the line away from the exhaust.
He wants more sheilding instead.
It might take a day to do it right or fight with it all winter putting on sheilding that next summer holds more heat around the fuel line than originally.
Move the line.
