Today, I ran the Front brake lines. I can't decide how to run the rear brake lines!
My thought was to run them inside the foot box in the corner by the Throttle pedal and out the bottom.
I am using a #3 37 degree bulk head fitting.
Does anyone see an issue with that? I was trying to keep the heat soak down by keeping them away from the headers.
Thanks,
I have included some of the other pics of the High port headed Kuntz 427 motor

That's pretty much what I did. The rear brake line goes out the bottom of the foot box and runs down the main frame rail. The one going out the side in the picture is for the clutch.

These (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/EAR-966303ERL) are handy where the bulkhead comes out of the footbox for the clutch line.

Excellent, that was my plan. It is good to see it done before you do it. Thanks for the pic. It was a big help.
