Well, the problems continue, my brand new block arrived, was machined, and we found that it's no good. Right now I am "negotiating" with the supplier for a new one. Yeah, I know that I shouldn't have to "negotiate" for a damned thing on a brand new block that turns out to have porosity problems that are only evident after machining...it's a long story, I'll let everything play out before I say anything.

Anyway, the project is almost dead in the water while I wait for the block supplier to decide what he's going to do. My thoughts turn to the fuel line. I am having Nick Acton (Mickmate) build me a custom S/C style fuel tank. I'm running a Mallory 250GPH electric pump with a 1/2" fuel line. I have no mechanical pump, there will be a fuel pump block off plate there. I'll have the pump eccentric installed in case I want to go mechanical somewhere down the road. I have a large Holley !/2" in, 1/2" out regulator. I am figuring that I will put the regulator down in the area where the fuel pump normally goes. Maybe I can have a bracket fabricated for it that uses the bolts for the block off plate to mount the regulator securely, with a short length of steel braided line that bridges the hard line on the frame to the regulator to allow for engine movement. For appearance sake I'd like to run hard line from the regulator to the 1X4 fuel log. How is this line normally routed? Anyone have pictures of the stock line routing? What do you guys think of this plan - any ideas are always welcome and appreciated.
