Looking at your pics in the gallery, you're feeding the beast from the firewall side, so I don't see where hot fuel is an issue? 
I believe you can also use a fuel pressure regulator without the need for a return line. I suppose the return line reduces the stress on the electric pump, but a lot of guys don't run return lines and I haven't read a lot about the need for that on this forum.
I'd also ditch that glass, see-through fuel filter. That's a weak link on so many levels.

The pics are old and the fuel lines are different now, no ghey glass bowl fuel filters now..
The return/bypass system will keep the fuel in the lines the temp of the fuel in the tank. (constant recirc)
When the supply line's "dead-headed" with no return there's always the propensity for escalating fuel pressures. The pressure would also creep with the Cobra's old single pipe fuel system too (different pump, filter, lines, regulator, carb and fittings)
I did just added Holley's new .260" thick carb/ fuel bowl spacer/insulator to my order. All I have is a little more than 1/4" between the top of the air cleaner and hood. It "should" help too.
