Plan is to shoe horn an EFI motor into my coily.
Have the EFI pump that fits into the tank from a Vitara.

Guess I will need to run a new high pressure EFI fuel line from the tank up to the engine bay.
The high pressure line is no problem, Dayco and Gates sell flexible line by the meter.

The existing metal line is fastned to the chassis/body with a plastic clip arrangement every so often, along with the brake lines.

Wondering how to fasten the new EFI line?
The existing line will need to stay, as I will need to the existing metal line for a return.
What have other people done?

Use the original fuel rails. There is a main, and return already.

Many people including myself have done this. I also run a HP fuel filter where the old one was. Small hose section in between steel lines up the back of the chassis.

Makes everything simple!

Did you just connect the new flexible lines to the original metal lines with hose clamps? or?

yes use good hose clamps. Not the original spring clamps.

Work's well,Z200 is a lil fuel filter made for Efi, make sure you use Efi hose & clamp's, will leak or pop a hose if you don't.
