    1.what kind of hose is ok to use for inlet plumbing of fuel pump with alcohol?
    2.are kb hemi's generally balanced and which way.is it ok to bolt on a jw flexplate as is or does it need it to matched?
    3.my 1440 8mm blower belt only just fits with no idler on.i already have a 43 wheel on top so can't go smaller.have 56 on bot so could go smaller but will lose %.any ideas??
    4.will anything i buy actually fit my car??
    5..will i ever stop spending money as long as own this car????

    No. 4.............also nooooooooooooooo!!!!! If it fits, it is either something you already took off the car, or an outright miracle. Check for a HALO surrounding the part if it fits as delivered. Race car parts are why lathes and milling machines were made.

    .
    FUEL DELIVERY ,, HARD LINE OR STEEL BRAIDED,AEROQUIPT CRIMPED LINES
    KB BLOCK,..all internal , cranks are internally balanced to application, thats where the Bob weight comes in, rods are balanced to within themselfs.
    AS FOR the JW flexplate call JW,A nuetral balanced flexplate would work fine.
    BLOWER BELT/ PULLEY,..GET A LONGER BELT
    if thats the ratio you want to run.
    FITTING PARTS,..some fit with no modifacations/ others its all trial fit.
    COST $$$ Its a never ending addiction,
    how fast/ how many times you run/ how pretty/ always spending money.
    although,..once you have it all together and have ran your car.
    you can run it soft and have fun over and over.
    your always going to need to buy,..fuel , plugs, oil..it never ends.
    Hope this shed some light.
