Looking good man nice work.
Thanks man appreciate it been just chipping away at it whenever I can.
Wire tuck time man this sucks lol.
We're a are u guys mounting ur fuel psi regulator on a carbed fox? It was mounted on the pinch weld of the fire wall on the other car but I'd like to make this car legal as I go. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Mine is mounted on the back side of the passenger shock tower. It passed tech @ Norwalk. No one has ever questioned that location. My Carbed Fox 408 Windsor runs my new best @ 10:28 @ 131 MPH.

That's were I'm thinking also. Just don't really like routing the fuel lines over the down pipe but that seems to be the best place and I'm pretty sure the way the rule is stated it's completely legal. Thanks for the reply.
You should be good there. Go to page 54

FUEL SYSTEMS: Whenever possible, fuel tanks and fuel lines should be located ahead of the engine. Fuel blocks, if used, must
be mounted at
least 6” forward of the flywheel bellhousing area. No part of fuel system may
be mounted on the firewall except fuel pressure regulator or
isolator or fuel block. It must be mounted as far away as possible from the flexplate/flywheel area.
Getting ready to start the fuel system. I have all the lines left over from the vert it's all Summit brand push lock. Would u guys reuse it or switch to true an line? I built the vert when I was broke hence the push lock but I never had a problem with it just wondering if I should take this as a good time to upgrade?
I would do the upgrade. I've had some problems with Summit brand products. Better to be safe than sorry.

Is this race gas only, any pump gas or E85?
that likely answers what you need to use. If race gas only,you may be fine.
Pump gas for the street race gas for the track no e85
With Pump gas and it’s ethanol, I’m not sure that anything not Teflon lined is a good thing. Have had several friends use the rubber lined hose with pump gas and ended up with fuel smell in their garages and trailers. I went with rubber lined hose because I only planned to use race gas. Last year full season and no issues.
Ended up scrapping the push lock after some inspecting it's so stiff and brittle it cracks when u bend it at all. So will be ordering new an line and fittings tonite.
Coming along
Are you going to finish off the paint with the fenders?

Yea whenever the last guy did the engine bay the used the fender crease as a tape line and did the edge of the fender black for whatever reason. I just put them on to fit everything up and what not. Will be spraying that b4 the car is out. Been chipping away at it a little at a time. My son wrestles so don't have much time u till the season is over.
I still need to finish up the rad hold down aswell. It's stainless from were I work but must be super low grade bc it is getting surface rust on it.
Looking great! My god I need to get to work.
