When I was collecting parts for my new fuel system I bought a roll of aluminum fuel line. Its 3/8ths. Is that going to be big enough to feed a stock v8? At what point do you step up to 1/2"?

I would think so as the factory 425 hp cars only had a 3/8 and a mechanical pump ..... some of your factory v8 cars only had a 5/16ths line ... I would run a 3/8ths though
