Orie;

Thanks, I would appreciate it if you could snap a few shots of your fuel line connection to your fuel tank.

Thanks

Here you go, one from the side and one from the front. Just happened to be out finishing up exhaust work. Where the lines go thru the frame I clamp on about 2" of rubber hose around the line. They are held to the frame using electrical type "p" clamps with hose around the line too.

Here is a shot of the engine restraint, it will have about 3/8" slack one it gets settled in. On the street you probably do not need it but up in the hills when you are getting on and off the gas pretty hard the engine torques. The weight of the cast iron transfer case acts as a counter weight and you crack the aluminum trans case.

Also you can see the exhaust pipe. The ones I put in in 85 were in good shape just surface rusted. I knocked off the rust with my trusty DA and 80 grit then painted with dark grey brand F high temp engine paint (Duplicolor) to get close to the exhaust manifolds. Now I just need a couple of mufflers. Going with Dynomax Super Turbo 17736.
