John, I agree. I'm not wild about the flex hose either. I'll have to come up with something different. And I feel the transmission lines need to be routed differently as well. All things that will be tended to. First thing I have to do is taking it to a local chassis builder to get the seat relocated so I fit in it better. After that I'll start doing things my way with it.
My thought on the trans lines is to replace it with one that has an integrated fan and mount it towards the rear and outside the frame rails that way the trans lines are clear of any rotating pieces.
I had to weld a piece of steel angle on my aftermarket 2 x 3 frame rail because I was faced with the same issue. Then it’s protected from any flying pieces and inside the frame rails.

Funny you should mention that. Local boys who bought a Glidden PInto, and raced it in GAS. It had an injected Ford inline-6... with a Batten furnace-brazed, BOSS 302 head, and a Nash 5-speed. Ran mid-9's in the 70's.
The only thing I want to do with that is place a protective cap over that terminal because knowing me I'll hit it with a wrench or something and the sparks will fly.... Or install the relay kit from Painless Wiring that kills power on that wire from the battery when the battery disconnect switch is in the off position.
Hey Sir do you know the part number for that relay. I'm wanting to move my battery to the trunk.... T.I.A
