O.K. Getting the rear transmission built involved getting body bolted back down on the chassis and keeping the transmission tail shaft as high in the transmission tunnel as possible. But before I did that I removed the drivers side remaining rear body bolt and jacked the body up to remove the stock 5/16 fuel line and installed a new 3/8 fuel line from Inline Tube. At the front you will need to bend the fuel line up along the firewall near the steering column. This will put it close to the fuel inlet on the fuel rail. Reinstalled the rear body bolt with a new mount. In order to drop the front of the body back into position it is necessary to cut the transmission tunnel for clearance around the bell housing and transmission oil lines. This is somewhat trial and error. I have included a picture to show some of what I did. Once I had the clearance I needed and the body bolted back down I welded in new metal to close up the floor. The transmission cross member is made from heavy wall square tubing and a piece of 4 inch c-channel for the actual mount to set on. My transmission cross member mimics the one I got from BPR Hot rods with their mount kit. As I did with my 64 I purchased a fuel tank kit from Speedway Motors. This kit includes a larger capacity tank with built in baffles that surround the pump to prevent starving, a Bosch intank fuel pump, and a sending unit. It is necessary to assemble the pump and sending unit and install them in the tank. Follow the directions included and you will be ok.. I purchased An6 fittings and push on high pressure hose to hook everything up. I also used the WIX 33737 filter/ regulator to handle fuel flow. I mounted this unit close to the tank to minimize the length of the fuel return line needed. These filters were stock on LS powered Corvettes and provide the correct fuel pressure to the motor and return excess back to tank. I bought a 37 degree An flaring tool to flare the New 3/8 fuel line to accept An6 fittings. I have found the only way to get push on high pressure hose installed on the fittings is to soak the hose in boiling water and have the fitting in a vise. You can then force the hose on because it is soft. Once it cools no leaks. It is pretty obvious how you wire up the pump and sending unit. Make sure you have good grounds. The pictures are out of order.
