I am working on a MS setup for a V8. My application is a little different from standard:
1.) It will be run on a mechanical pump on the front of the engine
2.) the gas tank will be in front of the engine
So, my thoughts are to have the fuel flow out of the pump (on the front of the engine), split on the front side of the engine, and merge at the back of the engine at the regulator. This is exact opposite of many that I have seen, but it makes sense to run it this way rather than plumb to the back of the engine to split, and then come forward again........
i would appreciate any feedback with pro/con's to this method.

Re: Fuel supply layout question
should work great has fuel feeding both rails and then goes out to regulator so rails are pressurized the same as if it was front to back most people just have tank in the back so the other way is less of that pretty but expensive braided stainless hose zane
Re: Fuel supply layout question
I assumed that it would be no problem as i have seen this done many times, it is the same principal just done in reverse, but i did not know if threre was anything different that I would need to do. Thanks
