Fuel Line Rerouting
What motor? On stock LA you'd have a hard line direct from pump to carb. This would tuck up close to the ac compresser. Fuel filter before pump.
So long as pump is good you should be able to reroute within reasonable distance. I have mine run from pump to 2nd fuel filter on sidewall (to prevent fuel from boiling) and then up and over block to carb. No fuel starving as far as I could see.
