Fuel Lines

The V12 carbs used a low pressure fuel pump but the V8 uses a high pressure EFI pump. I removed the old pump and mounted this EFI pump behind the fuel cell. I would have liked to mount it lower but it would interfere with the diffuser.

And I mounted a new fuel filter along the frame rail. Notice the fancy clip-on connectors just like the factory uses. The filter is going to be around 5 inches from the exhaust pipe and I hope heat isn't going to be a problem. If it is, I'll construct a heat shield.

After the fuel filter, the lines (pressure and return line) run inside the frame rail and pop out just behind the battery.

And attach to the fuel rail and regulator.

Motor mounts and frame mod

With the 5.0, I had to flip the headers around in order to hook them up to the side pipes. This means that the frame had to be modified to clear the outlets on the headers.

Don't know why this pic uploaded sideways but here is the section on the drivers side that needed to be cut out.

And the new section is welded in, I still have to add a little front piece and weld the underside.

I debated what to do about motor mounts but finally decided to run 2" square tubing from the stock location on the block out to the frame rails. This is the passenger side.  I learned from the V12 that motor mounts sticking into the engine bay make it more difficult to remove the engine, so these ones bolt to the frame using grade 8 bolts..

 There is no cushion between the frame and the engine, they are solidly bolted at both ends
