i am converting from a 4 cyl to a v8, and I need to move the fuel lines from the drivers side to the pass side. the easiest way to do it would be to cut the fuel lines just before they cross over in the transmission hump, flare them and route them along the pass sub frame. upon looking at the condition of the fuel lines where they connect above the rear end. I am thinking I should replace the whole lines. so my first question is the first pic is of my car. the second pic is one I found on the web. I was just making sure that the connection on my car is the same as what I found on the web.

second question is: I have been looking on the web and replacement fuel lines are gonna cost just as much as I got the whole car for. I don't need pre bent lines. i was just gonna go to the local parts store and get straight lines, and bend them my self, but how do connect them to the connectors in the pics I included?
 
Hey Dave, i tried calling you. left a vm. anyways. I think after talking to a sales rep from Inline tube the easiest and least expensive route to take would be to cut the connector ends off of the rubber hoses that come off the gas tank and use Fuel injector hose clamps with flared lines. unless anyone has another solution. the biggest thing to keep in mind is that I am working on a very tight budget. so buying all new pre-bent lines is out of the question.
 
Alternative route is to go to the u-pull it. Find adapting lines from another fuel system that'll either extend where you need them to go, or enable to interconnect in a section to allow you to resume using your factory soft line.

Note* This option may soak up time, however, saves upfront out of pocket costs.
