not off memory right now, i do know that you can get a fitting adapter that will connect to your stock fuel rail, then on the other end is either an an-6 or -8 fitting. if you are planning to change your fuel lines.

Thanks again
I do plan on changing the fuel line after i do more research. I have to find out how much rwhp the stock fuel lines will support. I already have the steeda fuel rails and62 lb injectors.

before i changed my fuel lines i looked everywhere to find how much power you could support with the stock lines and could not find a definitive answer (that was 4 years ago though.) then my engine got toasted going lean so i just change them out. im assuming you plan on going the force induction route, then it would definitely help to change them out. some people just convert their fuel system to a return style though, that could be another option.

I was running a vortech S trim 6-8 psi with no problem. I changed the pulley to 10-12 psi and toasted the stock short block in 2005. I'm upgrading to a T trim. I do plan on upgrading the fuel lines before i even start the car. I have a lot of research to do. This hobby can be very expensive and it sucks when you have to spend money on repairs instead of upgrades.

i just toasted 1 of my pistons, then the broken rod punched a hole in the block, i ended up having to drive it like that for about 5mile to my place when the oil from the engine decided to short out my starter, which started spinning by itself until it caught fire so i pull the battery cable and hosed it down with water, ahhhhhhhh. it was a mess.

I can amagine what you went through, That's almost the same thing that happen to me. I don't know which one broke first, the rod or the piston. I was running11.40 @ 120.00 with the 6-8 lb pulley. After i changed the pulley i got one 1/4 mile pass and ran a 11.22 @ 122.00 mph. The 2nd run i had a better 60 ft. but i shot a rod through the block. If i wasn't married with children i would have this car back together by now. Hopefully i'll have it together in the fall.

no kids/wife for me yet. it took me about a year to get my car back on the road. maybe if i only had one project i could have done it sooner. motorcycle and jeep take some of my time too. good luck getting your car back together. also, where did you get your cobra tank and how much was it?

I searched on the web for two weeks but did not find one. I shouldhave waited, I don't know what my rush was. I ended up buyinga new one for $450.11 months ago and its been sitting in my garage since.
