Default new fuel setup for 04 returnless to return

ive been gathering parts for my new motr and i know that my fuel supply was a weak point so here is some of my new set up as far as intake and fuel delivery it all showed up today. it consist of -8 feed line and - 6 return. im using a magnafuel boost ref fpr with a magna fuel filter. twin intank walbro 355's ( one will be run off a hobbs switch set to 4 psi) . intake consist of the vic jr with the rails and a custom intake elbow to replicate the stock truck mountin spot for the tb. here are some pics of the goodies














now i just need to plum it all and drop the new motr which should be done late next week or the week after

looks good chase. I did not know you were going to a vic intake

I have a question, It is about fuel system plumbing:
what is the difference between 37 degree and 45 degree flares on hard line?? I see most of yours is flexable, but I know guys who look at this post will have gas one their brains.

I know this is an old thread, but Chase, is that one of those fuel pump hot wire kits I see in the background? What did you have to do to get the electrical plugs to mate up?
