My exhaust guy went under my stock tranny crossmember. they fit good, even with my column shift (4l60e of course)

I bought a set of mac mid length but if memory serves me correct I was going to notch the top of the d/s frame. the bends coming off the exhaust ports was not tight enough. The pacesetters fit way better.

It doesn’t look like a flex fuel motor, but looks like you don't have a separate return line off of your fuel rail. The non returnless is way easier to run because only one line is needed to run all the way to the front. I used aluminum line and some high pressure fuel line (will get the brand if you want, its way cheaper and better then the efi fuel line from napa) and used the factory fittings. the russel fuel line adapters are prone to failure and are expensive.

Also I like how you used the I6 engine stands. I ended up spending 40$ on the normal adapters, but I already had the v8 stands. I think it ended up moving the motor back further because I had the same coils you have on your engine but had to swap for the round ones because the square ones wouldn’t fit on the p/s.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to get some pictures too.

Great info! Not a big fan of Pacesetters, but if they fit well compared to Macs I guess I'll start looking for a pair. Heck, I may just make my own and save some money.

Made these a few years ago for a '67 Chevy II swap:





I hadn't even paid attention to the single fuel line - which you're right, that's all it's got! I get kind of focused on one thing, then the next.. The fuel system is a few weeks away, after I get the rear gas tank. I may PM you for the part # for the line you used.
