I'm in the middle of transplanting a 3.6 and need to replace my old fuel hoses with new ones. Does anyone know where I can get 3/8 in. high pressure and low pressure fuel hoses locally and on a weekend? I tried the Autozone/Adv. Autoparts and it was a no go. Thanks.

I have bought this stuff twice from Advanced Auto. Try another one.

I would really think about using braded hose with aluminum fittings. The rubber hose should work fine, but you will need to use clamps on adaptors at the filter and fuel rail.
Any auto parts store should carry fuel safe hose.

Another option is JEGS on line and quick ship.
I bought some for my boat a few years ago with an eldebrock intake and a 4 bbl marine carb. The stainless braided stuff ain't easy to cut either! Good luck! If you haven't found it at the routine places look up a high performance shop, or a place that makes up Hydrolic hoses.

cmartin: I wish I could use all braided hoses for the fuel lines, unfortunately, I have to use rubber hoses to connect to the supply and return fuel lines that run through the body of the car. I bought Aeroquip alum. fittings with barb ends so I think I should be ok.
William Miller: I'm ordering stuff from Summit Racing this morning, I was just hoping to get my hoses all done this weekend while I was underneath the car. The motor is a go after I take care of these fuel line issues.

I have a 3.6 in my SC, I'll be happy to take some photo's of my setup if it will help.
