Fuel Line Mod?

I've not had any issue running the fuel line in the stock location just on front of the head and right above the water pump using the stock clamp with the fuel filter in the stock location. The radiator fan blows directly on the fuel line and with a Holley single inlet style four barrel, the inlet is over on the driver's side away from all of the heat of the manifolds, so the fuel filter doesn't get heat soaked. Besides that, I'm pretty particular about anything running over the beautiful slant 6 valve cover. I cannot stand it. lol Too much rubber fuel hose in the system looks bad, plus as mentioned earlier, will get you teched right out of any NHRA mandated track, because the rule is no more than 12" total of rubber hose in the fuel system. Look what the factories did. They also used a minimum of rubber fuel hose. You didn't see Chrysler running two and three feet of rubber fuel hose everywhere looking bad, because it was also a safety issue. Gasoline (especially ethanol laced gasoline) attacks rubber fuel hose. It even eventually attacks the "good" ethanol friendly hose and it will crack and leak at the WORST possible time. Not to mention rubber fuel hose can much more easily be ripped and torn in the event of an accident. Then you have gas everywhere, ready to cause a fire. I prefer using as little rubber hose in the system as possible. Otherwise you could be asking for trouble.
